Police in Clark County are warning of a very detailed phone scam.
Winchester Police say someone has been calling people in the area and telling them they missed an important court date.

Police say people don’t pay any kind of fine or fee to a government office with a pre-paid credit card like the one these scammers are requesting. They suggest people just hang up if they get a call like this.
