GRAHAM COUNTY – This is to notify the citizens of Graham County this phone scam is again being used. 

On or about Tuesday, April 23, 2019, citizens of Graham County received a call from someone identifying themselves as a member of the Graham County Sheriff’s Office using current employee names. The caller

told the citizen he had a current arrest warrant for $2,000 and was told if they paid the bond they would not be arrested. 

The caller ID was also the Sheriff’s Office general number of 428-3141, which is not the number that shows on a caller ID if a call was made from the Sheriff’s Office.

Citizens are reminded that this and other phone scams are being used throughout Arizona. Please do not give any personal information, account numbers or send money if you receive this type of call.
