Findlay Police Department Warns Community of State-Wide Prescription Phone Scam

The Findlay Police Department is warning about a scam across the state involving prescriptions.

With the closure of Rite Aid stores, and prescriptions being transferred to other stores, scammers are seeing this as an opportunity to get your personal information.

The scammers are calling individuals, claiming to be representatives with other pharmacies, and are offering to help with the transition between stores.

They then ask for your personal information, such as date of birth, Social Security number, and Medicare number and will then use the information to steal your identity.

If you receive such a call, decline to answer the questions and hang up.

If you feel the call may be legitimate, you can contact the pharmacy yourself at a trusted number, or in person.
