Uintah County Sheriff’s Office Issues Scam Alert

Another day, another scam and this time it’s the Uintah County Sheriff’s Office issuing the warning. “If you receive a call from someone saying they are with the Sheriff’s Office or they actually use a real deputy’s name telling you that you missed court or owe money for a fine and are demanding immediate payment or you will get arrested, this is a scam!” shares the Sheriff’s Office. “We will NOT at any time call and demand payment of any fine over fear of arrest.” If you receive a call and you have questions and concerns that it is a potential scam, hang up and call Central Dispatch at 435-789-4222. Request to speak with a real Sheriff’s Office deputy and they will be happy to help you and answer any questions.
