Another potential scam, using the name of local government, is making the rounds in the local area.
This one, according to Nemaha County Sheriff Rich Vernon, involves a phone caller claiming to be selling advertisements for a tri-fold map, which they claim is being sponsored by Nemaha County.
The trouble is, according to Vernon, no local government official is aware of any such map.
Vernon says he believes the caller is attempting to scam businesses into sending money for maps that likely never materialize.
According to Vernon, the caller has an accent, and usually mispronounces the name of Sabetha.
Vernon says anyone with information about the scam is encouraged to contact his office.
