Officer Impersonation Scam on the Rise
The Tazewell County Sheriff's Office wants to warn the public of recent Officer Impersonation Scams. These scammers have been targeting individuals stating they have missed a court date and demand payment of fines of $3,000-$5,000.
These Scammers pose as real members of the Tazewell County Sheriff's Office, claim you have missed a court date and you have a warrant for your arrest. They will demand immediate payment in order to avoid arrest.
Please be cautious and verify the legitimacy of any communication before providing any personal or financial information. Members of the Tazewell County Sheriff's Office will not contact you about warrant status and will not demand any sort of payment over the phone.
If you receive these type of calls please report to your local authorities. ... See MoreSee Less
