The Fentress County Sheriff’s Office has issued a scam alert after learning that several people have received phone calls from someone claiming to be Sheriff Hunter Fowler and asking them for money.
This is a scam. Sheriff Fowler will never call and ask anyone for money.
The Fentress County Sheriff’s Office has also received several reports of individuals receiving calls claiming that they have missed jury duty, that a warrant has been issued for their arrest, and that they can pay a certain amount of money to have the warrant taken care of. This is also a scam.
The Fentress County Sheriff’s Office will never call you to inform you that you have a warrant and ask you to pay money over the phone. If you receive one of these calls, do not give out any personal information and hang up. (Photo courtesy FCSO.)
