Barton County Sheriff warns of phone scam

(From the Barton County Sheriff's Office)

We at the Sheriff's Office are wanting to warn the community of another scam going around. 

At the Sheriff's Office today, we received several calls on this. So basically you will get a phone call from your own phone number. When you answer it, it will sound like your phone provider. They say your account has been suspended or turned off and will ask you to pay a certain amount of money to get it turned back on. They will be very persistent in trying to get you to pay them. 

So if you get a phone call from your own phone number know that this is a scam.
