VAN BUREN – The Crawford County Sheriff’s Office says if you get a random call saying that you have a warrant, you could be up against a phone scam.
“We have been receiving numerous calls from subjects that have been victims of scams.” The Sheriff’s Department said via social media this week. “This call involves the scam artist stating that you have a warrant and must take money to the Sheriff’s Office. They then have you purchase gift cards and advise them the number so they can take the money. The Sheriff’s Office will not request money via phone nor will the ask for gift cards”.
The department says if you get a call that you are unsure about, you should call them at (479) 474-2581 and they will work to verify any questions that you may have.
