Kandiyohi Co Scams Return

Unfortunately, scammers are not on holiday break, and are again targeting communities pretending to be staff from the Kandiyohi County Sheriff’s Office.

The Sheriff’s Office has been notified that residents are getting calls from someone claiming to be a deputy from the sheriff’s office, and stating various things including you’ve missed a court date and have a warrant, calling about an ‘urgent’ civil matter, etc. Authorities say this is an attempted fraud, usually following up with needing to pay a fine or something similar.

If you’ve been victimized and given personal information or money, you’re asked to call the sheriff’s office and report it.
