Warren sheriff warns of scam

The Warren County Sheriff’s Office is warning citizens about scam phone calls. Several people have reported receiving calls where the suspect identifies himself as Deputy David Scott. The suspect tells the person that the Warren County Sheriff’s Office has a warrant for their arrest and if they get a money order and provide him the information, he would have the warrant recalled.

The Warren County Sheriff’s Office wants the public to be aware they do not call and ask for payment over the phone. This is a scam and if you receive one of these calls, just hang up the phone and ignore the caller.
