HUTCHINSON,
Kan. — South Hutchinson police and Hutchinson Police along with the Reno County Sheriff's Department warned the public on Wednesday of a circulating scam.

Hutchinson Police said in a Facebook post, "We have received a lot of calls about a Lt. Johnson or Det. Meyers calling people saying they are with the Reno County Sherriff's office saying that the person who they called has a warrant for their arrest and they need to pay them. They have used the phone number of (620)794-6005. THIS IS A SCAM!

The South Hutchinson department also noted that the scammer wanted payment through PayPal.

The Sheriff's Department chimed in on Facebook too. They said,&nbsp;our Detectives do good work but they will NEVER let you pay a fine by PayPal. You also can't pay any court fine by Google gift card, Venmo or squirrel pelts. 

The departments say, don't give them any information, just hang up.
