It was brought to our attention that once again there is a phone scam in our County where the scammers are identifying themselves as Deputy Sheriffs from the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office. They are now using actual names, titles, and ranks of actual Monroe County Deputy Sheriffs. One of the phone numbers they are using is 570-517-3312. Unfortunately it is not difficult for scammers to make the caller ID number look legitimate. The scammers are saying that the citizen has outstanding fines, demands the citizen stays on the phone and states they will be arrested if they hang up.

Please note: THE MONROE COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE DOES NOT MAKE PHONE CALLS ABOUT SUCH MATTERS, NOR DO WE SOLICIT MONEY.

If anyone receives a call from that number and the caller requests any form of payment or personal information, such as a social security number, you should hang up and call your local municipal police department or State Police barracks to file a report.
