The Watauga County Sheriff's Office is warning of yet another phone scam making the rounds.
They have once again received several reports from citizens regarding phone calls from someone pretending to be with the Sheriff's Office. These scammers usually have your personal information and seem legitimate.
The Watauga County Sheriff's Office, or any Sheriff's Office, will not call you about unpaid taxes or any other money owed, and will never ask you for any type of monetary consideration to avoid criminal prosecution.
These scammers even appear to have the ability to duplicate phone numbers to make it appear they are calling from the Sheriff's Office.
If you receive a call that you are unsure about, please call Watauga County Sheriff's Office at 828-264- 3761 extension 2 to verify any information.
