TIFT COUNTY, Ga. (WTXL) - Tift County residents are being warned to be on the look out for a phone scam.
Sheriff Gene Scarbrough says the scammer assumes the name Officer Hart claiming to work with the sheriff's office.
The scammer then tells victims he has a warrant for their arrest because they missed jury duty and to avoid jail they must pay a fine over the phone immediately.
The sheriff says there's no Officer Hart at their office.
