(Dearborn County, Ind.) - A phone scam has been reported in Dearborn County. 

The Dearborn County Sheriff's office has received multiple calls from residents stating that there is a scam going around where people are posing as Dearborn County deputies and using our dispatch number of 812-537-3431.
