The Elizabethtown Police Department is warning residents of an attempted law enforcement scam.
“We’ve received reports that local residents have received bogus phone calls from someone claiming to be the U.S. Marshals Service advising they have missed jury duty and demanding they pay a $2,000 fine,” said EPD Public Information Officer Chris Denham. “If you receive a similar phone call, hang up immediately. As a reminder, no legitimate law enforcement agency will ever contact a citizen by phone demanding a fine be paid.”
Meanwhile, the Hardin County Clerk’s Office is warning of a reported voter registration scam.
According to a post on the clerk’s office’s Facebook page, organizations are mailing county residents official-looking documents such as pre-filled voter registration cards. The clerk’s office says the cards are not from their office or from the Kentucky State Board of Elections.
To register to vote or to confirm your voter registration, visit www.govoteky.com, contact the clerk’s office at 270-765-2171, or visit the clerk’s office at the Hardin County Building. The deadline to register to vote in the November election is October 10.
