BOONE, Iowa---Boone County Sheriff Ron Fehr says yet another scam has surfaced in Boone County. He says this week, a rural Boone County couple notified the Sheriff's Department that they were called by an unidentified person and told to go to Wal~Mart and purchase a green gift card. They were told they could win $5,000 and a new car and all they had to do was call in the numbers off the card. Fehr says the gift cards require people to put a dollar amount on the card. He says giving out the numbers will allow someone to use the card.
