Scam call reported; Audit Committee to expand fraud-hotline training for employees
Summary
A Davis County resident reported a scam call demanding bitcoin for a missed jury-duty warrant; the Sheriff’s Office found no warrant. The Audit Committee directed the Controller to create a fraud-hotline training video for all employees and update posted hotline information.
Minutes show a resident reported receiving a phone call from India claiming they had missed jury duty and that a warrant had been issued; the caller demanded payment in bitcoin. The report was forwarded to the Sheriff’s Office, which determined the warrant was not valid and contacted the resident to provide resolution.
The committee noted several departments still display outdated hotline information and that awareness of the county Fraud Hotline is low. Controller Scott Parke will work with Human Resources and Risk Management to produce a fraud-hotline training video for all employees and include the material in new-hire training. Scott will also send a final resolution letter to the State Auditor’s Office regarding a separate Greenbelt complaint that was closed after review.
