Carver Co Sheriff Warns of Scams

The Carver County Sheriff’s Office says they’re getting dozens of reports from citizens saying they’re receiving calls from people claiming to be with the Sheriff’s Office.

Authorities say they have “spoofed” their number to make it appear like its coming from a legitimate Sheriff’s Office number.

The Sheriff’s Office says these are fake calls with people pretending to be law enforcement to scam people out of money.

If you receive a call from someone claiming to be with the Sheriff’s Office, and they are making claims about asking for money, hang up the phone and call 911 to report the event.
