The Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office (OCSO) is warning people about a scammer pretending to be OCSO Sheriff Tommie Johnson.
A woman called OCSO on Tuesday, making them aware that she got a call from Johnson about identity theft.
OCSO says this is a scam and that Johnson does not investigate ID theft claims and no one from the sheriff's office will ever call you asking for personal information or payment.
If anyone gets a call from someone claiming to be with the sheriff's office and they are asking unusual questions, OCSO says to hang up and call their office back at (405) 713-1000. The sheriff's office says they will then verify with you whether or not they were calling you or if it was a scam.
