N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – Foster County Sheriff Ian Mattice is warning residents of a scam making the rounds involving the department.

According to Sheriff Mattice, a male individual is calling residents and falsely representing himself as a Foster County Deputy. The male states that there are current warrants out for people and that if they pay him the bond money, the department will not have to come and get them. This is a scam. Sheriff Office’s don’t work that way with warrants.

The caller is identifying themselves as Deputy Mark Hallowell or Captain Halloway. If you receive a call similar to this, hang up and contact the North Dakota Attorney General’s Office immediately. If you are unsure, contact the Foster County Sheriff’s Department for an explanation.
