Sheriff's Office issues warning about new series of phone scams
Phone scammers have been busy in the Northland this week. St. Louis County 911 received more than 100 reports Monday alone from people who'd received a scam phone message. The phony messages have come in various forms such as claiming the person owes taxes to the IRS or has outstanding warrants.
The St. Louis County Sheriff's Office advises people who receive one of these scam messages, to simply disregard it. They do not need to call 911 to report the call.
The Sheriff's Office reminds citizens to not respond to these calls, and to never divulge financial or credit card information or agree to send any kind of payment if they are not sure of the person or agency with whom they are talking.
