SCAM ALERT: This One Hits Close to Home
Wed 1-29-2025

(Spirit Lake)– We need to make you aware of a scam that hits very close to home. We have learned that someone is making calls to local residents and the caller ID shows the KUOO-Q102 radio station phone number. The person on the other end of the line claims to be a DJ with fake call letters, announcing you are the winner of a cruise vacation. It’s a scam. They are using technology to “spoof” the KUOO/Q102 office phone number. If you receive such a call, do NOT give any personal information and hang up. Neither radio station is currently giving away any vacations or trips. So far we only know that this has happened with our Iowa stations. If you do receive a call and they claim to be from here at KKOJ and Xtreme Country, we are NOT giving away any vacations either so please know that it is a scam and let us know if you do receive a call.
