(Lawrenceburg, IN) – The Dearborn County Sheriff’s Office says scammers are using the inmate search feature on the agency’s app to try and get money from people whose loved ones are inmates in the county jail.
Deputies say the scammers contact family members, falsely claiming they can help release jailed loved ones for a fee.
The sheriff’s office says you should never send money or share personal information, and urge you to verify claims with official sources.
