FARGO (KFGO) – A person lost money in a scam where two callers convinced them that they were with the Cass County Sheriff’s Office.
When the victim questioned the claim and asked for the unit number of Sheriff Jesse Jahner, the correct number was provided by a second scammer. They were even invited to visit the sheriff’s department headquarters building in north Fargo. After providing fictitious court and case numbers, the victim sent money through a Bitcoin machine. The money cannot be recovered.
Detective Joe Gress says the victim lost more than $5,000.
