Scam alert for Buffalo County region

The Kearney and Buffalo County area have been receiving a higher than usual amount of SCAM calls the last couple of days. These calls may come from a 308 area code and frequently from a number you may recognize. The person says they are a Deputy and sometimes give a name.

They say you have missed a court date or jury duty and may say there is an arrest warrant for you. They also say it can be handled if you pay a fine.

THIS IS A SCAM EVERY SINGLE TIME. Law enforcement never communicates in this way and never accepts or requests payment in any of the methods they tell you to pay through. Just hang up and never ever give them any information at all.
