Coconino County Sheriff’s Office has received reports of scammers calling citizens and claiming to be a Coconino County Sheriff’s Deputy and claiming to be calling about an outstanding warrant. The person goes on to say that you need to pay to take care of the warrant or you will be arrested. Officials say do not fall for this scam. The Sheriff’s Office will never call you asking for money. Do not give out personal information over the phone. Another sign that it’s a scam is that scammers often ask for payment in the form of pre-payed cards. Hang up the phone and call your local Sheriff’s Office immediately.
