WINNSBORO – The Fairfield County Sheriff’s Office says it has received complaints about scam phone calls from individuals pretending to be employees of the Clerk of Court’s Office.
“The Fairfield County Clerk of Court will never call or email you to demand personal information, Social Security numbers, or payment over the phone,” the office said.
Callers may claim to need your personal information or say that you owe money related to a court matter, according to the report.
The Sheriff’s office says not to share personal or financial information. Instead, hang up immediately. Contact the Fairfield County Clerk of Court directly at (803) 712-6526 if you receive a suspicious call.
