On Thursday, March 11, 2021 Adair County Sheriff Josh Brockman was contacted by County Clerk Lisa Greer involving a potential scam.
This morning, Clerk Greer was contacted by an Adair County resident who stated she had been contacted by a male who said he represented the County Clerk's office and that her credit card was not working correctly. The caller went on to say that she had to pay a sum of cash immediately or her driver's license would be revoked.
The County Clerk’s office would never ask you for your bank information over the phone and they do not have the authority to cancel your drivers license as the County Clerk's office only deals with vehicle licenses. Also, the Clerk's office does not have any males employed at this time.
Clerk Greer and Sheriff Brockman would like to remind everyone to be mindful of these scams. No government entity is going to ask you what your personal identification is because they already have access to it. If something seems off, it usually is!
