The Johnson County Sheriff’s Department reports they’ve been notified of suspicious phone calls.
KGAN TV reports scammers are claiming to be deputies, informing them that they’ve missed a court date and to make immediate payment to rectify the situation.
The Sheriff’s Office says residents who get such calls are urged to hang up. The scammers are using apps that spoof phone numbers, and in most cases involving missed court dates, deputies will speak with you in person.
Any questions can be directed to the Sheriff’s Office at 319-356-6020.
