The other day, we got a call from someone pretending to be a Sergeant from the Mason County Sheriff's Office. It was (at first) pretty believable since the caller had bits and pieces of information that would make this sound legit. Little did the caller know that we're friendly with Sheriff Spurling, so we were able to poke some holes in the story. Other people haven't been as lucky and have been scammed out of money. MCSO does not call individuals to inform them about missing court dates and requesting payment of fines.
