It is foggy this morning Faulk County. In fog like this, speed can have consequences. You may not be able to stop quickly enough once you see something you don’t want to hit. Give yourself a little extra time to get to where you need to be.

🚨 MINNEHAHA COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE: URGENT SCAM ALERT 🚨

We are warning residents about a growing “Courier Cash” scam targeting seniors and community members across the area.

Scammers are calling victims, pressuring them to withdraw large amounts of cash, lie to bank staff, and overnight the money to an address provided by the criminals. Once shipped, the cash is gone.

Please protect yourself and loved ones:
• Hang up immediately if anyone tells you to move or withdraw money.
• Be honest with your bank—tellers are trained to spot fraud and protect you.
• Never ship cash. No legitimate agency or business will ever ask you to do this.

These criminals often target older adults, but anyone can be affected. Please share this post to help keep our community safe. Stay vigilant and look out for one another

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and the Minnehaha County Sheriff’s Office and Jail.
