SALLISAW, Okla. ( KNWA/KFTA ) — The Sequoyah County Sheriff’s Office warns residents about a recent office scam.

Several people have been getting calls about outstanding warrants from someone claiming to be “Deputy Petree.”

The call seems real since the phone number is coming up as the county dispatch number, but the sheriff’s office says this is a scam.

The sheriff’s office says it will not call you about outstanding warrants. If you get one of these calls, do not send the scammer any money and do not meet up with them.
