![](https://theedinburgadvocate.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Sheriffs-badge.png)
The Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Office has recently received several reports of an individual, claiming to be an HCSO Sergeant, calling residents of Hidalgo County and telling them that they owe a fine and need to pay or they will face a court hearing.
The HCSO would like to remind people that Deputies will never ask for a payment or collect a fine from an individual. Never provide any personal information to an unknown caller. We ask that if you receive such a call or have recently received one please contact your local law enforcement agency or our office at 956-383-8114 and report the incident. https://www.hidalgocounty.us/2192/Sheriffs-Page
