(KLZA)-- The Richardson County Sheriff's Office has received reports of a phone scam targeting residents of Richardson County.

The scammers are representing themselves as Richardson County Sheriff's Department Deputies, and possibly spoofing phone numbers to appear they are calls from the Sheriff's Office.

Sheriff Rick Hardesty reminds Richardson County residents that the Sheriff's Office will never contact you to inform you that they have a warrant, or to demand payment for any legal matter over the phone.

If you receive such a call, don't give any personal information and you may contact the Sheriff's Office at 402-245-2479.
