PLATTE COUNTY – “Scam:” a verb meaning to deceive and defraud someone; to obtain (something, such as money) by scam. This is the definition, according to Merriam-Webster dictionary, of phone activity still occurring in the local area.
Platte County Sheriff’s Department has been trying to get the word out to locals, their phone number is still appearing on caller-I.D. connected to scammers attempting to appear as if they are representing local law enforcement and needing personal information.
“We have had a lot of people call in today about these calls again, and it is coming from our phone number,” said a PCSD Facebook post dated Sept. 5. “It is a scam – please make sure not to give any information to them or any money. We will not call you about warrants. Please make sure to let family and friends know that might not have social media.”
