WILLIAMS COUNTY, ND (KXNET) — Williams County Sheriff's Office is encouraging people to start the new year off right, and they say it all starts with being scam aware. Williams County officers say they continue to receive reports of scam calls in the new year.

They say that if the call seems suspicious, you should report it to their non-emergency line at 701-577-7700 immediately.
