The Cass County Sheriff’s Office is making the public aware of a new twist on an old scam that’s going around. Sheriff Darby McLaren says his office has received a report of an automated call telling about the negative effects of a prescription drug. The voice gives you the option to press “1” to be taken off the call list, and when you do, the automated operator requests your social security number, date of birth, and name. The Sheriff says if you receive such a call, simply hang up. Do not give your information to the caller, regardless of whether is is a human or computer.
