The Morristown Police Department (MPD) has been made aware of another telephone scam trying to obtain money from citizens.

In this latest hoax, the number on caller ID displays as 423-585-2710. This is an MPD number; however, it will never show up on a legitimate call as all calls are routed through our switchboard.

The caller claims a warrant has been taken either for missed jury duty or an unpaid citation and demands immediate payment.
As always, the MPD will never call asking for money for any type of warrant or unpaid citation.

Please do not fall victim to this or similar scams.
