Crittenden Circuit Clerk Madeline Henderson says someone pirated her office phone number and has called at least one local resident as part of what could be a scam.
Henderson has investigated the claim and found that it is feasible for someone to us a caller identification signature that give credibility to the scam.
"It appeared as coming from 1-1-965-4200," Henderson said.
The caller told a local woman he was from the clerk's office and that she owed for a long overdue parking ticket. The woman didn't fall for the scam and the caller became offensive.
Henderson said anyone who receives a suspicious phone call allegedly from her office should call police.
