🚨 SCAM ALERT 🚨
We have been made aware of another phone scam circulating in our area. Callers are claiming to be from “Publishers Clearing House” and telling people they have won $4.8 million. They may provide a fake employee name, badge number, and claim number to sound legitimate.
The caller will then ask for your banking or personal information in order to “claim” the prize.
⚠️ DO NOT GIVE OUT ANY PERSONAL OR BANKING INFORMATION. ⚠️
If you receive one of these calls:
• Hang up immediately
• Do not engage with the caller
• Never provide personal, banking, or financial information over the phone
Remember: If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
If you have questions or concerns about suspicious phone calls, we are always here to help. Please contact the police department at 701-664-2514, OPTION 2, to speak with an officer.
