The Wayne County Sheriff says scammers pretending to be with his office have called people, saying they owe money on a warrant and trying to collect. Sheriff Barry Virts says this is a scam, and law enforcement will never call someone on the phone demanding money.
Sheriff Virts says the caller claims there’s a warrant out for your arrest unless you pay immediately through an online system. He says anyone demanding such an arrangement, or payment by cash or money cards, is a scammer and you should hang up.
