Oxford Police Warn of Warrant Scam

The Oxford Municipal Court has received multiple reports of a scam involving fake warrant notices. According to authorities, scammers call residents, claiming to be from the court or police, and threaten arrest if immediate payment is not made.

The callers then send a link and instruct recipients to pay immediately to avoid arrest. Officials emphasize that neither the Oxford Police Department nor the Municipal Court will call, text, or email links demanding payment for warrants.

Residents are advised not to click on any links or send money if they receive such calls or messages. Authorities recommend contacting the Municipal Court or Oxford Police Department directly using official phone numbers if there are concerns about a warrant or suspicious communication.
