Kentucky State Police Post 1 Reminds Public to Beware of Scams

MAYFIELD, Ky. (December 21, 2025) – Kentucky State Police (KSP) Post 1 has seen an increase in reported scams recently, including scams impersonating law enforcement. 

It has been reported to KSP Post 1 more than once in the past few days that individuals on the Sex Offender Registry (SOR) have received phone calls from someone alledging they are KSP Post 1 Commander, Captain Joey Adams, and advising them they have a warrant related to their SOR status. The impersonator then requests money for a bond payment. This is a scam. We would like to reassure the public that law enforcement will not call you to advise you of a warrant or request money related to a warrant. 

KSP Post 1 would also like to remind the public, under KRS 525.070 and 525.080, use of information obtained from the sex offender registry to harass a person identified on the sex offender registry is a criminal offense punishable by up to ninety (90) days in the county jail. More severe criminal penalties apply for more severe crimes committed against a person identified on the sex offender registry website.
