The Putnam County Sheriff’s Office has been notified by the Tennessee Sheriffs’ Association of a phone scam currently going on in their name. While it is a renewal period for the association and you may have received a mailing, TSA will NEVER call to solicit funds. If you receive a call here are a couple things to do:
-While the TSA does not call to solicit, if there was an error with your payment they will call to correct. Check to make sure the number is the TSA main office number 615-547-0277
-If you feel that the call may be a scam, hang up and call them “back” at the TSA’s main office line.
-Report it to your local Sheriff’s Office.
Again, the TSA will never call to solicit. They do not like taking payments over the phone. All renewals and donations can be made by going to www.tnsheriffs.com/online-store .
