SCAM ALERT
We have received several phone calls today from citizens about another scam. Can you please modify the current scam alert popup to include this within it:
Some callers are also reporting phone calls from someone claiming to be from the Suwannee County Sheriff’s Office saying that a warrant is out for their arrest because they did not show up to court, as a witness, etc. and possibly asking for money to recall the warrant. Caller ID shows that it is the Sheriff’s Office calling them, but the number has been spoofed and this is not the case. Please contact the Suwannee County Sheriff’s Office at 386.362.2222 to report the scam.
