(Williams County, ND) — Another phone scam has the Williams County Sheriff’s Office urging residents to be aware. Authorities have recently received multiple reports of residents being contacted by someone who claims to be part of the sheriff’s office. The alleged suspects attempt to pressure victims into sending them money by impersonating deputies. A similar scam took place in Williams County earlier this year. Authorities will never call residents to request money or gather personal information, as all suspicious calls should be reported to the Williams County non-emergency line.
