Hays County authorities are warning of a reported phone scam that has been targeting area residents, primarily senior citizens.

The scam involves someone claiming to be a Hays County Sheriff's Office employee who also uses a number from the local 512 area code, according to a HCSO press release.

The scammer tells victims they have warrants for their arrest and that victims must pay money to avoid being detained.
