Hardin County Sheriff’s Office Warns Residents About Scam

The Hardin County Sheriff’s Office has received word of a scam taking place by mail.

The mailing is titled “OHIO UCC STATEMENT REQUEST FORM” and when the number on the document is called, it goes to an automated system.

The return mailing address is legitimate, but it is a UPS store location.

These scammers will likely have valid loan information for the potential victim, but they are attempting to get the victim to ‘pay’ on the loan that they are likely paying to the actual lein holder.

Fortunately, the potential victim called the Sheriff’s Office, and they were able to identify this as a scam before any money was exchanged.

Residents are encouraged to be aware of these scams and check on your family and friends as well to make sure they are aware.
