The Claiborne County Sheriff’s Department is warning the county’s residents of a scam call going around.

“We have received several calls from Claiborne County residents stating they got a call from someone claiming to be an employee of the Sheriff’s Office. This person is claiming that you have a warrant for your arrest and if you pay it over the phone, it would be taken care of,” the Sheriff’s Office shared on its Facebook page last week. “THIS IS A SCAM! DO NOT PAY ANYTHING OVER THE PHONE!”

The Claiborne County Sheriff’s Office will never call you requesting payment for a warrant or ticket.
