Phone Scam

The Laramie County Sheriff's Office is reminding people as well that phony caller ID phone numbers are often used by con artists.

The FBI Denver Division says that it has seen its main number spoofed in this manner recently, as well as the numbers of its offices in Colorado and Wyoming.

The person is told they will be arrested unless immediate payment is made either via a cashier's check or a Green Dot debit card.

The office says they will never request any sort of payment over the phone and will never accept money cards as payment of fines.

Beck says the patrol hasn't, and won't request any payment over the phone.

Some of the calls spoof the IRS toll-free number to appear to be legitimate.

The Laramie Police Department is warning residents of a potentially dangerous and complex phone scam involving jury duty and payments to scammers.

A jury duty phone scam is continuing to cause problems for residents of Laramie and Albany County.
