Sheriff Says Scam Uses Assessor's Number

NEBRASKA CITY- The Otoe County Assessor’s Office is reporting a telephone scam using its phone number.

A Lincoln resident notified authorities that the caller identification showed the assessor’s office, but the call was a scam. The caller asked for a Social Security number and other personal questions.

The assessor’s office says personal banking information and identification numbers are not something the office would request by telephone.
