The Livingston County Sheriff’s Office says scammers are working overtime around the Holiday trying to steal identities and money.

“Many residents have reported over the last two weeks about being contacted by several known scams about verifying credit card information to being sued by the IRS, which we have reported to you in the past,” said Sheriff Steve Cox.

He said scammers are hitting people up over the Christmas season.

“People are in a hurry, more giving, and more likely to have been using their credit or debit cards,” Cox said.

As of Thursday the office did not have anyone reporting they have been victimized.

“Most everyone has been quick to realize they were speaking with a criminal,” Cox said. “If you do become a victim and lose money, please report that to your local law enforcement agency.”
