The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office is again alerting the public to an active scam currently circulating in our community during tax season.

Last week, the Sheriff’s Office warned of scam phone calls where individuals falsely identified themselves as Sheriff’s Deputies, claiming citizens had missed court dates and demanding immediate payment to avoid arrest. Scammers have now shifted tactics and are sending text messages instructing recipients to click a link and pay their “property tax bill.”

This is a scam.

The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office will never call, text message, or message through social media to request or collect payment of any kind.

If you receive one of these text messages:

• Do not click any link
• Do not respond with personal or financial information
• Delete the message immediately

We strongly encourage the public to share this information with family, friends, and co-workers to help prevent additional victims, especially those who may be more vulnerable to fraudulent schemes.

The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office will continue to monitor this situation and provide updates as needed. For verification or questions, citizens may contact the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office directly at (502) 574-5471 or visit their official website www.jcsoky.org
