According to the Barren County Sheriff’s Office, there has recently been reports of a scammer posing as an employee with the office. The caller states he is a detective and he is calling in reference to a warrant of arrest for missed court date.
This person is giving a false name and badge number and is requesting money to be sent via Western Union or gift cards.
The Sheriff’s office will not call regarding a missed court date, any money owed or for any outstanding warrants. Mike Houchens, public relations officer, recommends if anyone receives a call from any person stating you have an outstanding warrant and asking for payment, to just hang up and do not give any personal or banking information.
