The Cass County Sheriff’s Office is warning the public to be aware of a new scam that has come to department’s attention. Officials say victims of the scam receive a call from a person claiming to be from Publisher’s Clearinghouse, and in order to receive money the victims have supposedly won, they are told they need to forward money to another location. Afterward, someone calls the victims and claims to be the County Sheriff verifying that the victims have won money. THIS IS A SCAM.

The Sheriff’s Office reminds citizens to NEVER send money to any party claiming that you must send money to receive money back.
