Sheriff Warns of Phone Scam Targeting the Elderly

Letcher County Sheriff Billy Jones is warning about a phone scam that has been going around.

It is just the latest version of an existing scam targeting the elderly, in this case someone posing as an official saying a family member has been involved in an accident and money is required to help them.

The Sheriff reminds you to speak with elderly family members to make sure they know not to give out personal financial information.
