(KNZA)--The Brown County Sheriff's Office has been receiving complaints from local residents about a message they have been receiving on their cell phones.

The caller, who calls the resident by name, says its Lieutenant James Perry, with the civil services division, regarding their failure to appear on February 7 for federal grand jury duty.
The automated message encourages residents to contact their office to reschedule a time to meet in person. The number given is 785-251-0710.
Merchant says he has contacted the Shawnee county Sheriff's office and they have verified its a scam.
He urges residents not to respond to the message.
