Sheriff’s office reports scams

    REGIONAL -- There have been several reports of scams starting up again in our area, reports the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office. The first report is one of a relative being in jail in a different city or state and requesting money to bond the relative out of jail.  If this is a call you are receiving please use caution, officials said.
    There is also a scam which is using local area phone numbers and requesting funds. They have gone as far as using local law enforcement phone numbers, law enforcement said.
