SCAM ALERT
Coffee County Sheriff’s Office has been made aware of a scam that is taking place in Coffee County and surrounding counties. Information obtained at this time is that a person or persons are calling Nurse Practitioners or Walk in Clinics and advising the personnel that an employee in the office did not respond to a subpoena for court and now there are warrants out for the person’s (employee’s) arrest. The callers are using the name Matthew Dykes or Greg Smith and the callers are stating that they are employees of the Coffee County Sheriff’s Office. The Coffee County Sheriff’s Office does not have anyone employed by those names. They are instructing you to go to your financial institution or local pharmacy and purchase credit cards to pay the fines.
Also, they are using New Brockton Police Department’s address of 706 E. McKinnon St. as a meeting place.
Again, this is a SCAM, if you receive a call from these persons, block the number and end the call.
