The Nowata County Sheriff's Office is warning citizens of a scam going around the county.

The scam includes instructions for people to pay a certain amount of money or be arrested. This is coming by a letter in the mail or phone calls using a Nowata number. One of the numbers being used is one of the Sheriff's Department's numbers.

The NCSO warns citizens not to pay any money but instead call the Sheriff's Office at (918)273-2287 and report it.
