Sonora, CA…From the Tuolumne Sheriff’s Office…Our Communication Center has received multiple calls regarding yet another phone scam that seems to be targeting the elderly in our community. Many residents have been receiving calls this evening from (661)552-0555. A male voice says, “You will go to hell if you don’t belong to my church.” Some residents have called the number back and the person on the line demands a $100 donation to their church so they may follow Christ the right way and keep from going to hell.

A search of the phone number listed above shows it as being associated with this scam.

Please share this information with your friends and family, especially those who may not follow social media to keep them aware of current scams.
