A scam call making the rounds in Greene County is prompting emergency action from law enforcement.
In a social media post, the Greene County Sheriff’s Office said calls from an unknown source were going out to residents, telling them that the sheriff’s office has warrants for their arrest. The agency said this is not in line with its policy, and these phone calls are scams.
WSVA confirmed that the listed callback number leads to a voicemail recording from the sheriff’s office field division. However, the number is not accurate.
Investigators are attempting to trace the phone number back to its owner; in the meantime, officials say not to call the sheriff’s office about this matter.
