I have received various phone calls from people representing themselves as law enforcement officers and asking for donations. Are they really officers?
Deputies in Highlands County do not solicit funds over the telephone nor does the Sheriff’s Office receive any funds at all from any other organization that conducts phone solicitations. If you are not familiar with an organization calling you and asking for a donation, you may wish to ask the caller to send you information on the charity and how they disburse their funds. And NEVER give your credit card number to anyone that calls you over the phone.
