Today we're handing out grades for scam calls going around Harvey County.

🔹 The Plot: A person calls your phone and says they are Sgt. Moon (they're not). The person says they have a warrant for you (they don't). They say Undersheriff Chapman has confirmed this (and we can confirm he hasn't). This particular scammer wants you to call 316-370-5004 (don't do that).

🔹 Our Analysis: This scam severely lacks in creativity. Weak premise. Poorly researched. We were bored just listening to it and got bored all over again typing the plot out here. P.S. We tried to call your scam line to have a chat, but you didn't answer for us :(

🔹 Final Grade: F-minus. Maybe F-minus-minus-minus. Ralphie in a A Christmas Story is embarrassed by your grade.

Anyway, scam calls are lame. Our office doesn't contact citizens in this way for warrants. If you're ever unsure, call us on our administrative line, which is 316-284-6960. We're happy to talk about fighting crime, ranking classic scenes from holiday movies or to help make sure you're not getting scammed.

Yes, schedule with your family doctor, or feel free to call us for an appointment. 316-283-1637 x 2We're talking about measles, a viral infection declared eliminated in the U.S. in 2000.

Did you know when a person infected with this virus sneezes or coughs, up to 9 out of 10 people around them will become infected if not protected (CDC)?

The best protection for your child against measles is the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine. Schedule a visit with your family doctor: bit.ly/3rovgMT.

It looks like it may have fallen out of or off a vehicle. We'd like to get the equipment back to its owner. If this is your stuff, please give us a call through dispatch. ... See moreSee less
