If you receive a phone call from someone saying they are from the Marion County Sheriff's Office and the number that shows up is 503-850-7014, it is a scam. They may be using other Sheriff's Office names and addresses as well. Marion County will not call and leave a message telling you to send money.
As a reminder, please do not comply or give out any personal information if you were to receive this call. Should you find yourself subject to this scam, please contact our Non-Emergency dispatch line at (503)588-5032.
