Sheriff's department warns of scam


Crittenden County Sheriff’s Department says there’s a new phone scam targeting local residents.

Deputy Ray Agent said residents are being contacted by scammers alleging they represent Publisher’s Clearing House. 

“They’re saying you won a large amount of money and you need to send money for processing the winnings,” he said.

The deputy says residents should be vigilant against such fraud and never send money with the proposition of getting more later.
