Prosecutor’s Office Warns of Phone Scam

The Meigs County Prosecutor’s Office released a statement on social media this morning warning of phone calls allegedly  being made by the office concerning money owed to the county that needs to be paid. This is not the case and is a scam.

“Please note, the Meigs County Prosecutor’s Office is not making phone calls regarding money that you owe to the county. If someone calls you saying that they are with the Prosecutor’s Office and leaves a toll free number, please do not call this number back, please contact the Meigs County Sheriff Department at 740-992-3371. Thank you,” read the statement released by the office.

Anyone receiving such a phone call should contact the Sheriff’s Office.
