Sheriff's Dept Phone Scam
Yesterday I received 2 messages from a Deputy Edward Cox of the Sonoma County Sheriff's Department about an "emergency" in the first message and an "urgent situation" in the second message. He left his phone number: 971-294-1132. When I called the number, the announcement said it was for Deputy Edward Cox etc. Well, it turns out the area code is for the Portland OR area and there is no Deputy Edward Cox with the SCSD. I'm assuming it is a scammer trying to separate me from some of my heard-earned money. Don't let it happen to you.
