The Union County Sheriffs Office has received several reports of a telephone scam. Individuals are calling claiming to be an officer, sergeant or Sheriff from Union County or other agencies. These individuals are saying that you have missed jury duty or have an active arrest warrant and asking for you to pay fines and bond monies over the phone by credit card or pre paid cards. These individuals can call from any number and also can use call spoofing software to make it look like they are actually calling from the sheriff's office or other agencies. The Union County Sheriffs Office or other law enforcement agencies will never call and ask for this type of information. If you receive a call like this please report it to your local law enforcement agency.
