SCAM ALERT SHERIFF'S OFFICE

The Thurston County Sheriff's Office is warning about phone scams where callers impersonate deputies, using fear and urgency to demand money—often with spoofed numbers and real names—but they will never call to request payment or personal info. If you have any questions, please speak with a deputy via dispatch, 360-704-2740.
