The Uintah County Sheriff’s Office is once again urging the public to stay alert to the scammers out there posing as law enforcement officers. “If you receive a call from someone saying they are with the Sheriff’s Office or they actually use a real or former deputy’s name telling you that you missed court, jury duty, or owe money for a fine and they’re demanding immediate payment or you will get arrested, this is a scam!” shares the announcement. The Sheriff’s Office will NOT at any time call and demand payment of any fine over fear of arrest. Unfortunately, locals have been falling victim so please share the warning with family and friends who may not yet know. If you receive a call like this, hang up and call Central Dispatch at 435-789-4222.
