Don’t be fooled by scam

The Leelanau County Sheriff’s Office are warning residents about a telephone scam.

The department received several reports Friday of phone calls from someone who identifi ed themselves as “Sgt. Cooper from the Leelanau Sheriff Department.”

The caller is telling those who answer such things as a loved one has been arrested for “multiple blood violations,” or that they had a warrant for their arrest for failing to provide DNA, and could pay the fines over the phone.
