SUBLETTE COUNTY — The Sublette County Sheriff’s Office has received several complaints recently from citizens that have been contacted regarding money or prizes they have won. The callers inform them that in order to claim the prize they need to pay taxes or a deposit. In most cases these citizens have been asked to send money via Western Union to a specific person outside of the United States. In some cases they are given a name and address within the U.S. These calls are scams and fraudulent in nature.

Anyone that is currently involved in a situation similar to this is advised to discontinue sending money and contact either the Sublette County Sheriff’s Office at 307-367-4378 or file a complaint with the Federal Bureau of Investigation at www.ic3.gov.
