If you live in South Dakota, and have a cell phone, be warned of a new scam that is going on in your area, and be cautions not to give out any personal details over the phone even it it’s an automated service.

The South Dakota Consumer Protection are warning of this scam, it will begin with your cell phone being called, and you will hear a recorded message, it will say something like you credit card account or a credit company has been de-activated.
