Fraud and Identity Theft

Unfortunately, all of us are increasingly susceptible to identify theft and fraud. With the increasing use and popularity of the internet through web sites and social media, we have become even more vulnerable as these technologies extend deeply into our daily lives – including the lives of children. In recognition of this, the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office is making an effort to seek out and share information sources to help our citizens learn more about fraud and identify theft and how to protect themselves and their loved ones.
