This is a scam! Please share so that no one becomes a victim!

There is a new voicemail scam going around claiming that a @DaneSheriff deputy needs your attention on a "legal matter". A PD friend confirmed it is 100% a scam. Listen to the audio here.

Oddly, the scammer knew the name of a real DCSO deputy and assumed his identity in this scam.
