Telephone Scam Alert

The Jim Wells County Precinct 4 Commissioner's Office (Annex Building) at 2310 Old Kingsville Rd., Alice, Texas, 78332 has experienced a malicious attempt to disrupt phone services by flooding the system with a high volume of calls, preventing legitimate users from making or receiving calls.   

The office has received multiple calls from individuals falsely claiming that they "owe taxes."  

This aligns with common tactics for potential telephone scams.

If you are receiving scam calls, please be advised. 

• Do not provide personal or financial information to unsolicited callers.
• Do not enage in financial transactions with unsolicited callers.
• Report suspicious calls to law enforcement.

We regret any concern this may raise and are working closely with local authorities to combat and prevent future telephone scams.  If you encounter a potential scam, please report it to the Jim Wells County Sheriff's Department at 361-668-0341.
