Scam information-we are receiving several different types of complaints of people (scammers) calling and saying a deputy is coming to their homes to arrest them.
Well the scam jerks are at it again, saying they are from the Sheriff's Office and you haven't paid your taxes or shown up for grand jury duty or whatever else they can make up and we are going to arrest you!
DON'T BE TAKEN BY THESE JERKS....Just give them a kind swipe on the red button on your cell phone or hang up the receiver on your home phone.
If we need you for something real, we will knock on your door, that's the way we have done business for years, not threatening you on the phone!
These guys will threaten, cuss and be completely disrespectful. (JUST HANG UP ON THEM OR BE CREATIVE) A woman I knew would blow a really loud whistle in the ear of the caller.
UPDATED: One of the numbers the scammer jerks are using is 417.682.6288....our number is 417.682.5541...they are using a rollover cell phone. When you call back they will tell you they are the Barton County Sheriff's Office....makes it sound good....but it's not us.
Sheriff L. Mitchell Shaw
Barton County , Missouri
