Someone is trying to get people's personal information by pretending to be a probation officer. 

 According to a report by the Chattooga County Sheriff's Office, a Peach Street man received a text message asking for his personal information. He received a second message supposedly from a Chattooga County probation officer.

The message stated," this is your probation officer, I need you to text me your cell phone number, account password and four-digit security code to check your messages since you got off probation. The message further stated that if there is anything bad found, your phone will be shut off for 72 hours.

You are reminded that officials do not give out personal information or ask for it via text messages.
