The Rockland County Sheriff’s Office is alerting the public to a scam targeting the local community. 

Pretending to be from the Sheriff’s office, the scammers asked residents for financial information. They called from the number (845)-574-8661. 

The Sheriff’s Office put on the following statement in light of the scam: “If you receive a phone call from (845)-574-8661 advising that they are the Rockland County Sheriff's Office DO NOT TAKE THE PHONE CALL. 

“That is not the phone number of the Rockland County Sheriff's Office.

“Please do not give any personal or financial information over the phone. If you have any questions or concerns you can reach us at our correct phone number which is 845-638-5400.”
