The Logan County Sheriff’s Office is discouraging residents from engaging scam callers in a conversation.

While it may be tempting the take the scammer for a ride, you should not, because they can record your voice and use AI to sign you up for things with verbal consent you did not give.

Engaging them also only encourages them to call more often, because of your willingness to answer the phone.

You should hang up on unwanted calls and ignore unexpected text messages.

Never click on links because you could be giving personal information unknowingly.

If you spot a scam, report it to the Ohio Attorney General’s Office at ohioattorygeneral.gov/reportascam or you can call 800-282-0515.
