DETROIT LAKES, Minn. (KFGO) – The Becker County Sheriff’s Office is warning people about a phone scam involving a caller impersonating a sheriff’s deputy. The scammer claims the person being called has an outstanding warrant and attempts to collect personal or financial information.
Some victims have reported that the scammer leaves a phone number and urges them to call back. In other cases, the caller pressures the person to make an immediate payment or share sensitive information.
Authorities say do not call the number back and do not give out any personal or financial information.
To verify whether you have an active warrant, residents are encouraged to check directly through the Becker County Warrants Page, or contact one of the following numbers:
- Becker County Sheriff’s Office: 218-847-2661
