The Rock County Sheriff’s office is making residents aware of a recent string of fraudulent phone calls.
According to a news release, the office has been made aware of a male caller calling citizens and posing as a Rock County Sergeant.
In a recent incident, the suspect caller told the citizen she missed a court date failing to appear before a Rock County Judge and warned her active citations have been issued for contempt of court.
The citizen then asked to speak with a supervisor and the suspect hung up, called back and identified himself as a Rock County Lieutenant.
The Rock County Sheriff’s office wants to remind citizens that at no time will they ever call people asking for money.
Anyone receiving calls of this nature should report it to the Rock County Communication Center.
