“Over the past several days, several individuals have contacted the Clark County Sheriff’s Office to advise them of the phone call they received,” the statement said. “The caller advised they were from the Clark County Sheriff’s Office, and in some cases, using the names of actual employees at the Sheriff’s Office.”

The scam caller appears to be using a 937 area code to call from, the statement said.
“Please be advised, the Clark County Sheriff’s Office will not call you on the phone to tell you there is a warrant and to come downtown,” the statement said. “You will also not be called by the phone about missing jury duty and asked to provide gift card numbers. Furthermore, the Clark County Sheriff’s Office will not call you to have a fine paid over the phone or with gift cards.”
If you believe you have been a victim of this scam and paid money to the caller, the Sheriff’s Office asks you to contact Detective Brian Melchi at 937-328-2560.
