Box Butte County Sheriff Tammy Mowry is warning local residents of another telephone scam. 

Sheriff Mowry says that scammers are calling residents as Representatives of Publishers Clearing House.   

"They're asking folks for money to process their winnings," Mowry said. 

This is a scam. Mowry said don't ever give out personal or financial information to callers on the phone.  If you receive one of these calls, just hang up. 

"If they're asking for money for a win, it is absolutely a scam," Mowry said. 

You can contact the Box Butte County Sheriff's Office at (308) 762-6464 to report these calls or if you believe you have been scammed.
