The Tishomingo Sheriff’s Office would like to make our citizens aware of a PHONE SCAM that has affected some of you today.  We have been informed that individuals posing as representatives for companies such as AMAZON and APPLE, are wanting money to "Give to the Sheriff's Office and Police Departments".

The Tishomingo County Sheriff's Office DOES NOT solicit funds from individuals, nor have companies contact citizens via phone and ask for same.  We want our citizens to be aware of this scam and do not offer any funds of yours to them. 

Also, do not give them any personal information.  We have been told that these phone numbers are random numbers.

If you have received such a call, we ask you to let the Public Service Commission know this. You can contact our Public Service Commissioner, Brandon Presley, at:
