(From the Jasper County Sheriff's Office)We are receiving reports of scammers claiming to be a sergeant, lieutenant or captain with the Jasper County Sheriff’s Office, informing victims that they have an arrest warrant for not showing up to court, forgetting to pay a fine, or skipping jury duty.
The scammer claims the victim owes money for these offenses and must issue payment immediately via mobile bank transfer, gift card or pre-paid debit card to avoid deputies coming to arrest them.
Scammers often speak quickly and pressure the citizen so he or she will agree to send money. If anyone calls claiming to be from the Jasper County Sheriff’s Office, and the call seems suspicious, call the Sheriff’s Office yourself for verification. 417-358-8177.
DO NOT just call the number that they provide.
