Berks County Sheriff Mandy P. Miller says her office has received numerous complaints recently that phone scammers have tried to pose as sheriff personnel to obtain money.

Sheriff Miller wants the public to know her office will never call and ask for money.

Sheriff Miller has these tips for Berks County residents.

*Under no circumstances should a resident ever provide any personal information by phone when receiving any calls unless the resident personally knows the caller.

*No government agency will ever accept or request payments via gift cards or cryptocurrency. 

*Never provide credit card information, social security number, date of birth, or bank information to anyone.

*Note the telephone number of the caller.

*Disconnect without providing any information to the caller.

*Call the office of the Berks County Sheriff at (610) 478-6240 if a resident has any concerns that he or she may be a wanted person or to inquire if the sheriff’s office has any reason to contact you.

Anyone receiving calls should report the information to the Berks County District Attorney’s Office.
