Possible new phone scam in Marquette County

By Nicole Walton

Marquette County, MI – The Marquette County Sheriff's Office is warning area residents about another possible scam. Officials say someone is calling homes and offering free cell phones. The caller says all the person has to do is provide a password, which they ask to be a social security number. Deputies say citizens should never give out personal information like social security, bank account, and credit card numbers. They say if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
