Barnes County Sheriff PatchValley City (CSi) The Barnes County Sheriff’s office is warning residents about a phone scam, as two residents notified the sheriff’s office on Thursday of a phone scam where the caller said “a warrant has been issued for your arrest.”

Chief Deputy Don Fiebiger says the caller attempts to get personal information such as your home address, social security number and bank account information.

He points out that those are huge red flags and you should hang up on the caller, adding that law enforcement agencies never call someone who has a warrant for arrest and then try to obtain personal information over the phone.

Fiebiger says the scam artist caller I.D. phone numbers were (831-435-1628) or (831-435-1629.)
