WILLIAMSBURG, Ky. (WYMT) - Police say some people have received threatening phone calls.

The callers claim they owe money.

The Whitley County Sheriff's Office says they've received many complaints of this happening.

Each time, the caller claims the potential victim owes money for an outstanding speeding ticket or for a loan.

The caller then threatens an arrest if the money isn't paid.

Investigators say this is just a scam.
