While imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, it can also cost people money.
The Outagamie County Sheriff’s Office says they have received several reports of people receiving phone calls from people claiming to be a part of the Department.
The Sheriff’s Office is reminding residents that they will never ask for payment over the phone, and they will never ask for you to pay with a gift card.
As is the case anytime you get a suspicious phone call, if you receive a call claiming to be from the Outagamie County Sheriff’s Office and you are unsure if it is real or not, hang up and call them directly at 920-832-5605.
The Appleton Police Department has also reportedly had several similar scams occur recently.
