The McCracken County Sheriff's Office said scammers struck again Tuesday.

They sound official giving out badge numbers and violation codes and will  then tell you to pay a certain amount of money to freeze the warrant and get this issue resolved.

Thw McCracken County Sheriff's Office will never call you directly and ask for money.  If you receive a call like this, do not give out any personal information and hang up.
