Madison Sheriff’s Department Warns of On-Going Scam

The Madison County Alabama Sheriff’s Department continues to urge residents to be alert when it comes to scam phone calls.  They have had numerous instances where callers use real law enforcement names, official titles and spoofed phone numbers to try to intimidate residents into paying them money.  They claim to be law enforcement representatives and threaten arrest unless you immediately comply.  Should you be targeted in such a scam, they urge you to NEVER give out personal or bank information, and to immediately contact your local law enforcement agency to report the matter.
