POLK COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE WARNS OF PHONE SCAM CLAIMING THEY ARE A LOCAL HOSPITAL

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office received a report of a possible phone scam going on in the area.  A female caller advised she was with Essentia Health in Detroit Lakes and was calling from phone #218-314-7297.  The phone was then given to a male who started asking the victim for her name, date of birth and last four digits of a social security number.  When the victim asked why they needed this information for the caller hung up.

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office Investigator called the number back and the number is tied to a call board that directs calls for Essentia Health in Detroit Lakes.  The call board advised they do not make calls from the number. 

Please remember not to give out any personal information unless you can verify the caller.  If you have questions call a friend, relative or law enforcement.
