Scammers are pretending to be law enforcement.
The Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office has issued a scam alert after receiving multiple reports in one day. The scammer is even impersonating one of their officers.
Scammer Is Impersonating Arkansas Police Officer
A scammer is impersonating a deputy named Sgt. McFarland, using the number 870-227-8607.
The fraudster claims residents missed jury duty and now have a warrant out for their arrest, demanding $500.
Authorities emphasize that they would never call about a warrant or request money over the phone.
If you receive such a call, do not send money, hang up, and block the number.
