Please remember to file a new burn permit for the 2018 year. If you plan on doing any burning in 2018, please file one BEFORE you start to burn. These permits are good for all of 2018 and you only have to file one a year, not every time you burn. All 2017 permits will no longer be valid after December 31, 2017. Thank you!
Several calls have been received requesting road reports. Please remember to call 511, 1-800-226-ROAD (7623) or use these websites: http://www.mdt.mt.gov/travelinfo or http://www.phillipscountysheriff.org.

We have been receiving calls and individuals have been coming in to report telephone calls with people asking for personal information, bank account information and needing to send money to relatives.
Calls have been received from:
• the IRS
• SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) Center
• Publisher’s Clearing House
• Federal Warrant
• Federal Student Loan company
• People requesting a money order number so they can give you vehicles that they claim you have won
• Walmart Secret Shopper
• Block Grants

• Loan Company
• Life Alert
• Calling about a prescription that a Doctor had ordered, but the Rx is not real
•Federal Court

•Storage Pods, asking to verify your name
•Calling about a Caribbean cruise
•Calling about a household member having back/shoulder/hip pain and claiming to be from a medical center
These phone calls are scams, if it seems suspicious DO NOT GIVE any information to the caller. Ask for a call back phone number and call them back to see if it is who they are claiming to be.
The IRS and the Federal Justice System do not contact people via telephone.
Always remember the key things regarding scams:
1. If you didn't enter, you didn't win
2. If you have to pay to receive your prize, you didn’t win.
3. If you have a lawsuit or other legal issues pending you will get notification via certified mail or served to you by an official, whether it is a law enforcement officer or a civil process server
