MPD Warns Of New Phone Scam

The Morristown Police Department is warning of another telephone scam to try to seperate you from your money. With this scam, the number on caller ID will come up as 423-585- 2710. This is a Morristown Police Department number, however, this number will never show up on caller ID as a legitimate call because all calls at the police department are routed through their switchboard.

In this hoax, the caller claims a warrant has been issued for your arrest either for missed jury duty or an unpaid ticket and demands immediate payment to keep you from jail. Michelle Jones with the Morristown Police Department reminds you that no police department is going to call asking for money for any type of warrant or unpaid citation.
