CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – The Clarksville Police Department (CPD) has been made aware of at least two different Clarksville citizens who have received phone calls from a scammer claiming he is a Montgomery County Deputy, saying his name is James Marshall with a badge number of 7311.
According to a news release, one potential victim stated that the phone number the scammer called from was 931-257-0870.
The scammer told the potential victims that they had warrants on file and that each of them needed to make a cash withdrawal of $750 to clear the warrants.
This is a scam. PIO Sandra Brandon at the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office was contacted to assist CPD in this matter, due to the scammer posing as a MCSO Deputy.
“A Sheriff’s Deputy would never call a citizen to solicit money. This is a scam. If you receive a phone call of this nature, hang up and notify local law enforcement,” Brandon said.
