(Ripley County, Ind.) – Beware of telephone scammers impersonating Ripley County Sheriff’s Office employees.

According to the Ripley County Sheriff’s Office, the scammers are calling residents regarding missing court dates, missing jury duty, or having an outstanding fine or warrant.

No law enforcement agency collects payments of any type over the phone.
