Area law enforcement agencies are warning residents of two scams attempts that have been reported.
“There’s a scam text message circulating that claims to be from the United States Postal Service alleging that a portion of your address was absent on a parcel that is to be delivered to you,” said Elizabethtown Police Department Public Information Officer Chris Denham. “The text message suggests that the recipient should click on an embedded link to resolve the issue. I would encourage anyone who receives this message to delete it as it is not legitimate.”
Meanwhile, the Hardin County Sheriff’s Office says a person named Spencer Turner is calling people claiming to be with the sheriff’s office and telling people how to pay a $1,500 fine they supposedly owe. The sheriff’s office says this is a scam, and is reminding the public that law enforcement will never try to collect money via phone or text.
