BISMARCK, N.D. (KFYR) - The state’s Attorney General issued a warning to residents about a scam that involves the buying of gold.

Attorney General Drew Wrigley stated that the scammers are impersonating government agents or law enforcement and attempting to convince victims to act immediately to safeguard their money. In some cases, false documents have been sent to victims.
