The Cherokee County Sheriff's is warning the public about two scams going around the county.

The first is a letter some residents have received, indicating a purchase agreement on their property. The Cherokee County Register of Deeds Office has had several calls and visits from those who have received this letter. They say this is a scam attempt. A copy of the letter can be seen here.

The second involves scammers spoofing the phone number of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. The caller tells the person answering the phone they are under indictment and must place a specific amount of money in a secured locker at a bank. This is a scam. No legitimate agency is going to call and advise there is an active investigation or indictment and even if there were, the target of the investigation would not be required to provide the investigative agency money.
