A new scam impersonating a law enforcement officer is making the rounds in the Ozarks.

The Greene County Sheriff’s Office (GCSO), has received reports that a scam caller is claiming to be Sgt. Collins with the “Greene County Sheriff’s Department” and is asking people to call back at a local number- 417-221-4777.

The Sheriffs office has indicated they will not call to let you know about an arrest warrant, or to ask for money or other monetary exchanges.

Should you get a call claiming it’s a deputy from the Greene County Sheriffs Department, always confirm first before giving out any information about yourself. To find out if its a legitimate call, phone the main line at the Sheriff’s Department at 417-868-4040.
