Impostors Claiming to Represent Montgomery Sheriff's Office in Scam Calls

The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office has received several calls today in reference to citizens receiving phone calls from unknown individuals claiming to be from the Sheriff’s Office. Individuals are receiving the call from a person claiming to be a representative of the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, informed that they told that they failed to appear for jury duty, and that a warrant has been issued for their arrest. As usual the scammers are giving instructions on how to take care of the fraudulent warrant and as well as asking for personal information. The caller(s) have left fraudulent call back numbers of (217)599-6221 and (217)216-4283. The fraudulent number is being answered by an automated answering service purporting itself to be associated with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office. This call is a SCAM. If you receive a similar call please do not provide the caller with any personal information or follow the caller’s instructions on how to send money or gift cards to have the warrant canceled. If you have any questions the correct number for the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office is (217)532-9511.
