93.9 The Eagle – The News and Talk of Columbia, MO
A scam alert is coming out of Cole County again.
The sheriff’s department says someone pretending to be a deputy is calling victims and saying there’s a warrant for their arrest. Then the suspect tries to squeeze out personal info, and cash via money orders.
Authorities will not call you about a warrant. Just hang up. If in doubt, you can call the Cole Co. Sheriff’s Dept at 573-634-9160.
