News Release: Gibson County Fraud Alert

Sheriff Allen Harmon reminds citizens to use extreme caution when releasing personal information over the telephone or internet.
The Gibson County Sheriff’s Department has received several reports of persons receiving phone calls and e-mails requesting social security numbers and credit card information. Do not release this information to anyone that you did not initiate contact with. If you are interested in doing business with a company that calls you, get a return phone number for them and check into the legitimacy of the company and the phone number before you make your decision.
