Residents receiving phone calls from Benton First Baptist Church may want to make sure that’s the case.
According to the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department, scam callers have allegedly used spoof technology to make it appear that calls are coming from First Baptist. Callers then attempt to identify themselves as affiliated with the church and solicit sales for medical equipment.
MCSD is warning residents that these calls are purely a scam. The church does not solicit sales over the phone, nor will anyone from the church attempt to gain personally identifiable information via telephone.
Anyone with information may call MCSD at 270-527-3126.
