Expert Opinion

Take note: callers claiming to be from the Cook County Sheriff’s office are repeatedly using aggressive, abusive tactics and demanding donations or information. Personal data should never be disclosed to an unsolicited caller, and any request for money should be verified through official channels before you respond. Hang up if the conversation turns hostile, block the number, and report the incident to the FTC or your state attorney general. Keep a log of the call details – date, time, and exact wording – to help authorities track patterns. Staying skeptical and confirming legitimacy can stop scammers from exploiting your business.
