The Calvert County Sheriff’s Office has received reports of an unknown male calling citizens and identifying himself as Sgt. Christopher Parsons from the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office. The unknown male advises the citizen that they failed to appear for a court date resulting in an arrest warrant being issued for them. The unknown male instructs the citizen to go to the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office to be served the warrant. The phone number (410) 535-2800 comes up on the citizen’s caller ID, which indicates the scammer is utilizing a spoofing app.
If the citizen doesn’t answer, the unknown male leaves a voicemail instructing the citizen to call him at (410) 701-3015. Citizens who have spoken with the unknown male described his voice as being husky and deep with no identifiable accent. The unknown male has hung up on citizens when they start questioning him.
CCSO would like to inform citizens this is a scam and if there is any incident in question, call Cpt. D. Payne with the Criminal Investigations Bureau at (410) 535-2800 ext. 2593.
