County woman Linda Cash was targeted in a scam to get her personal information last week, according to records from the county sheriff’s office.

Cash met with a county deputy at the sheriff’s office, where she told him that a man called her, and said that his name was Robert and gave her his “badge number”. He then pressured Cash, insisting that he had evidence that she was selling drugs through 20 different bank accounts, and that he would call the FBI unless she gave him her Social Security Number.

Cash realized what had happened and hung up the phone. She informed her bank of the incident and then called the police. Cash was told by the deputy that if any of her money went missing, she should bring bank statements to the sheriff’s office.
