Kentucky State Police at Mayfield have seen an increase in reported scams recently, including scams impersonating law enforcement.
It has been reported to KSP Post 1 more than once in the past few days that individuals on the Sex Offender Registry have received phone calls from someone alleging they are KSP Post 1 Commander, Captain Joey Adams, and advising them they have a warrant related to their status. The impersonator then requests money for a bond payment.
This is a scam. KSP Post 1 wants to reassure the public that law enforcement will not call you to advise you of a warrant or request money related to a warrant.
KSP Post 1 would also like to remind the public that use of information obtained from the sex offender registry to harass a person identified on the sex offender registry is a criminal offense punishable by up to 90 days in jail.
