🚨 SCAM ALERT 🚨

The Randolph County Sheriff’s Office has received reports of citizens receiving phone calls from individuals claiming to be Lieutenant Nathaniel Morrow and other deputies with the department.

The callers are telling people they have a warrant for failing to appear for jury duty and demanding a large sum of money to “take care of” the warrant. In some cases, citizens are being instructed to wire money or use other forms of electronic payment.

Please be advised:

❌ No deputy with the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office will ever call your home or workplace demanding money.
❌ Warrants cannot be resolved by wiring money, sending gift cards, electronic payments, or any similar method over the phone.

These calls are scams designed to frighten people into sending money.

If you receive a call like this:
• Do not send money
• Do not provide personal or banking information
• Hang up immediately
• Contact the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office if you have any questions or want to report receiving a phone call similar to the one above. Our office line is 256–357–4545

Please help us spread the word by sharing this post so others in our community do not become victims of this scam.
