Scam Uses Cass County Sheriff’s Office Phone Numbers

People are being told either that their grandson is in jail and they need to bail him out or a warrant is out for their arrest

FARGO, N.D. — A scam is ‘spoofing’ the Cass County Sheriff’s Office main line and the jail line.

The call being placed appears to come from a legitimate source.

People are being told either that their grandson is in jail and they need to bail him out or a warrant is out for their arrest.

They are then told to buy gift cards as a source of payment.

Cass County never accepts any payment for a bond other than cash.

Cass County Sheriff’s Office will accept payment on a warrant, but the bond must be paid in cash and must be done at the courthouse.
