DETROIT LAKES, Minn. (KFGO) – A possible phone scam using the Becker County Sheriff’s Office number (218-847-2661) has been reported.
After the individual answers the call, they are informed they have missed court in Becker County, and now a warrant has been issued for their arrest. The caller then informs the individual that the warrant can be stopped if they choose to pay immediately. Then, the caller gives the individual a way to pay for the warrant over the phone.
The Becker County Sheriff’s Office wants to remind the public that the Sheriff’s Office will NOT ask for payment over the phone.
You are advised to end the phone conversation immediately, and please report to your local Law Enforcement Agency and the Becker County Sheriff’s Office.
