Official Paper More Than
Forty Years

MILFORD — Although it has been publishing much, much longer, the Pike County Dispatch has been the newspaper of record for the County of Pike for more than 40 years. That means the Dispatch is the place to go to find out about public meetings, estate notices, bids, public hearings, real estate sales and transactions, and Sheriff sales.

The Pike County Commissioners listed the Dispatch as an official newspaper for legal notices during their opening meeting of 2014, and once again, during their annual reorganization meetings on the first business day of the New Year, most of the other municipalities in Pike County followed suit. So far, Milford and Matamoras Boroughs, and Westfall, Dingman, Delaware, Shohola, Blooming Grove. Milford and Lehman Townships have made it their business to have the Dispatch as an official newspaper.

So make it your business to keep up with all the news in Pike to print, including official business and legal notices from your town.

Sheriff’s Office Warns Of Jury Duty Scam

 

HARRISBURG — The Pike County Sheriff’s Office is warning residents about an ongoing phone scam involving individuals falsely claiming to represent law enforcement or the court system.
Citizens have reported receiving phone calls stating they missed jury duty and must immediately pay a fine or provide money to avoid arrest. In some cases, callers may use spoofed phone numbers that appear legitimate and may identify themselves as members of the Sheriff’s Office.
The Pike County Sheriff’s Office wants the public to know that deputies and court officials do not contact individuals by phone to demand payment for missed jury duty. Legitimate court matters are handled through official written correspondence and proper legal procedures.
Residents are urged to never provide personal information, banking details, or any form of immediate payment over the phone to unsolicited callers.

If you receive one of these calls:
• Hang up immediately.
• Do not provide any personal or financial information.
• Do not send money or purchase gift cards.
• Report the incident to local law enforcement.
