Lyon County Sheriff's Office warns of returning phone scam
Apparently those perpetrating the phone scam from January are back at it again. Although the ruse has changed slightly, the method of operation remains the same.
Please take note: the Lyon County Sheriff's Office will NOT call you to request you get money orders, gift cards, etc. to pay for fines, for warrants, for DNA collection procedures, etc.
This is not something the LCSO, or any other law enforcement agency, will ask of you.
If you receive one of these calls do NOT follow their instructions. Hang up and call the LCSO at (775) 577-5023 to report the incident.
