Another day, another scam and Uintah County Sheriff’s Office is once again reminding residents to be on alert. “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 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.” Regardless of where you live, if you have questions or concerns about a potential scam call, hang up and call your local law enforcement agency. Uintah County Sheriff’s Office encourages residents to call Central Dispatch at 435-789-4222 to connect with a real deputy who can answer your questions.
