ROBERTSON COUNTY, Texas — The Robertson County Sheriff's Office (RCSO) is urging people to be aware of a phone scam in the area.
According to the office, residents have received calls from individuals claiming to be collecting money on behalf of RCSO and local fire departments.
Neither RCSO nor local fire departments will ever call asking for money or donations over the phone. Anyone who receives such a call is asked to avoid offering personal information. Instead, they are recommended to hang up immediately and report the incident to law enforcement, RCSO said.
RCSO asks everyone to be alert and help spread the word to keep the community safe.
