Dodge County, WI – The Dodge County Sheriff’s Office is alerting residents about a phone scam resurfacing in the area, with multiple reports received Monday morning from people targeted by callers claiming to represent the department.
According to the Dodge County Sheriff’s Office, the scam involves individuals posing as deputies or staff members and demanding immediate payment or personal information. Officials said these calls often appear legitimate, using spoofed phone numbers that may display as “Dodge County Sheriff” on caller ID.
Authorities emphasized that the Sheriff’s Office never requests payment over the phone or asks for personal details such as Social Security or banking information. Residents are advised to hang up immediately and verify any suspicious communication by calling the Sheriff’s Office directly at (920) 386-3726.
The department first warned of this scam in late 2024 and is now reissuing the alert after receiving a surge of reports today, urging community members to share the message to prevent further victims.
Anyone who has provided money or information to these callers should contact local law enforcement and report the incident to the Wisconsin Consumer Protection Hotline.
