HCSO received a scam report tonight, from the PRPD phone number,218-237-2711. This was a spoofed telephone call. Scammers commonly make spoof calls from legitimate numbers to try to establish their credibility. Our officers will not call you and tell you that you missed jury duty, have a warrant, or that your bank account has been compromised. If you receive a call or message asking for money, please be wary. You can always call our office to confirm the person you are talking to is legitimate.
