Sheriff's Office dispatch has received multiple calls from citizens who say they've received a phone call from someone who says they are a Stearns County Sheriff's Sergeant.
The caller then asks for medical information, legal documents or tries to intimidate the victim about unpaid or past-due fines. The calls are a scam intended to gather personal information or money from their victims.
If you receive a call like this, never give out any personal information, hang up, and then call the sheriff's office.
