Jefferson County Sheriff Warns of Scam Calls

According to a post from the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, over the past week they have received about 4 scam call complaints, where a subject will call the victim and identify themselves as a Jefferson County Lieutenant. The scammer will say there is a warrant out for the victim, and will tell them to come to the sheriff’s office with cash cards, and also for a DNA collection or processing. The numbers from the cards are then collected over the phone. The sheriff’s office warns to never give out any personal information via phone if you are not certain who is on the other end, and that they will never call anybody to say they have a warrant.
