A new phone scam making its rounds in Tazewell County.
The Tazewell County Sheriff’s Office say they that residents have been receiving phone calls from subjects identifying themselves as detectives from the sheriff’s office.
During the call, subjects are advising to the residents, that they have warrants, and need to pay the warrant with various forms of payments.
The Tazewell County Sheriff’s Office does not call subjects about warrants nor do we take bond payment over the phone.
If you receive such a call, immediately hang up and notify the Tazewell County Sheriff’s office through the non-emergency phone number at 309-346-4141.
