N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – Some residents in Dickey County are receiving scam calls from someone claiming to be with Publisher’s Clearing House.

Dickey County Sheriff Chris Estes talked with KDDR’s Jason Metko and reports that the individuals calling them are saying they’re in Jamestown and will be coming to the area.

Sheriff Estes says the caller will then call again roughly 30 minutes later and say they are unable to make it to their area.

Both Stutsman County Sheriff Chad Kaiser and Jamestown Police Chief were not immediately available for comment on the scam.

Residents that receive this call are encouraged to contact their local law enforcement if they receive this call. Authorities say that you should never have to pay in if you “win something”.
