UPDATE 3/11/21 – The Cass County Sheriff’s Office today (Thursday), said with regard to an odd call some have received in the County, they were informed that the call was a legitimate call from Cass County Public Health, regarding whether the receiver of the call is eligible for the COVID Vaccine. Therefore, it is not a scam, just something the Sheriff’s Office was notaware of. Authorities say “Don’t be afraid to answer calls from Cass County. If someone is asking about money or computer information, or for money for a family member in jail, that would be a scam.”

Original Post 3/10/21:

Official with the Cass County Sheriff’s Office say they had a report of an odd call that starts out automated, and says “This is Cass County. Please press 1.”(or whatever number). Then the automated voice says, “Thank you. Goodbye.” While this sounds similar to phone calls that are outgoing from the jail, unless the person knows someone who is in jail, they would probably be confused.

Officials say they don’t think it’s a scam, exactly, but it’s not clear what exactly it is in reference too. They just want people to be aware of these occurrences.
