The Henry County Sheriff’s Office is alerting residents to a phone scam involving “spoofed” calls that appear to come directly from the sheriff’s office. Scammers are using technology to falsify the caller ID, creating the impression that the call is from their official phone number. Authorities stress that anyone who receives a suspicious call, even if the number looks legitimate, should not provide any personal information. The public is encouraged to verify the legitimacy of any such call by contacting the sheriff’s office directly at 309-937-3911. Residents should remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to local law enforcement.
