Scott County Sherriff Phone Scam

It seems like almost every week we are reading about some sort of scam in the Quad Cities.

According to the QCTimes, the Scott County Sherriff is warning residents of a potential phone scam where the scammer will call and say they are a sheriff's department employee demanding money for payments or the resident will be arrested.

The scammers are using the names of sheriff's department employees found on-line.
