Cumberland County, TN (WOKI) The Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office is out with a warning Tuesday about a scam caller impersonating law enforcement officers.
CCSO officials say they’ve received numerous reports regarding a fraudulent scheme in which a scam caller, claiming to be “Lt. James Perry of the Sheriff’s Office,” tells people there is a civil suit that supposedly involves them.
The scam caller is using the number 931-240-0332, but CCSO warns that numbers are easily faked, so the caller may use a variety of different numbers.
CCSO says law enforcement agencies and legitimate government entities will never request personal information or payment over the phone in relation to civil suits or legal matters; they urge that you not provide your personal information in any situation like this.
