The man is telling people they have a warrant out for their arrest and they need to turn themselves in. Or, he tells them they need to go to the sheriff’s department to give a DNA sample. These are scam calls.
The Greene County Sheriff’s Department does not call anyone to inform them they are wanted on a warrant.
