9-25-13 dodge county phone scam

The Dodge County Sheriff’s Department is warning residents about a phone scam.  Sheriff Pat Ninmann says residents  reported receiving a call from a woman claiming to be an employee of the Dodge County Felony Fraud Division.  The caller asked for bank account information stating the individuals’ wife had issued a worthless check and she needed his account information to avoid prosecution or suspension of his wife’s vehicle registration.  Ninmann says the Sheriff’s Office never contacts individuals over the phone for financial information.
