Earlier today we received a complaint of a phone scam. Scammers are calling pretending to be law enforcement officers with other agencies (Frankfort Pd and Florence Pd for todays scam). They advised our person, they had a citation issued to them for missing federal jury duty. I was added to the phone call, I began asking questions to the scammer who said his name was SGT Davis with the Florence Police Dept. He quickly ended the call.
We will see an uptick in scams during this time of the year. If you question a call, or it seems it’s too good to be true, please reach out to local law enforcement. You can reach the sheriff’s office at 606-845-4701 during business hours of 8am-4:30pm. After business hours, our phones are redirected to the Fleming County Emergency Dispatch Center where you can reach a deputy that’s on duty.
