Sheriff Gregory Rudolph would like to alert the community of a complaint that was received by the Wyoming County Sheriff\u2019s Office on February 13, 2018 regarding a telephone call to Wyoming County residents from an individual claiming to be a representative from the Civil Division of the Wyoming County Sheriff\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n
The call additionally displays as 585-786-8989, which is a Wyoming County Sheriff\u2019s Office administrative line.

The Wyoming County Sheriff\u2019s Office will not ask for payment using credit cards or wire transfers, nor will they ask for a credit card number over the phone.
