Someone is impersonating a deputy from the Wallowa County Sheriff's Office. The scammer calls residents requesting money or payment information.
The Wallowa County Sheriff's Office will never call you asking for money. Deputies will not request payment, gift cards, cryptocurrency, or any financial information by phone.
What residents should do:
- Refuse to send money or share payment details.
- Do not disclose personal or financial information.
- Hang up if you are uncertain about the caller's identity.
- Independently confirm the caller's legitimacy.
If you receive a suspicious call, contact the Wallowa County Sheriff's Office directly at 541-426-3131 to verify any caller claiming to be law enforcement. If it sounds fishy, verify it before you act.
