The Putnam County Sheriff’s Office is issuing a scam alert about notification of pistol permits.  Some people have reported receiving a text message with a link telling the recipient to click it to confirm details of a concealed pistol permit certificate.  Sheriff Robert Langley says anyone receiving a message like this should do not reply and should not click the link.  Recipients can take a screenshot and send it to the Sheriff's Department at 845-225-4300.
