Residents of Maury County are being alerted by the Sheriff’s Department about a fraudulent scheme that is currently making the rounds in the community. Individuals posing as employees of the sheriff’s office are reaching out to unsuspecting citizens, asserting that they have outstanding warrants for their arrest, have failed to appear for jury duty, or must pay a fine to prevent legal repercussions. Authorities emphasize that these calls are entirely fraudulent. It is important to note that law enforcement agencies will never contact individuals to solicit money, request payments to avert arrest, or demand payment through gift cards, wire transfers, or similar methods. If you happen to receive such a call, the Sheriff’s Department strongly encourages you to report it to your local law enforcement agency.
