ACSO: Fake calls are not from Sheriff's Office

By Sheriff Josh Brockman
Adair County Sheriff's Office


Today we have received several phone calls from Adair County residents stating they have received fraudulent calls that appeared to be from Adair County Sheriff's Office.

These calls consist of people being told they have a summons or warrants on them that do not exist. The callers are using employees names of the Sheriff's Office. The number that is showing up on most of these calls is 270-290-1369. We believe they are using an app to change the outgoing number, and we are trying to track down the source at this time.

The Sheriffs Office will not ever call and ask you for personal information over the phone. We do not accept payment for fines over the phone by credit card, nor do we ask for them. We do not call and tell you we have a warrant and are on our way if you don't pay as we ask.

If you receive a call that appears to be from the Sheriff's Office, tell them that you'll call the Sheriff's Office back, and then dial 270-384-2776.
