The Owen County Sheriff’s Office recently received information regarding an aggressive marketing/scam campaign that one of its county residents received.

The notice that was mailed to the resident appears to be an attempt to look like an official correspondence from a county office. The sender uses information found on public websites to target individuals using their name, address, and even mortgage information.

When contacted, the sender will attempt to convince the recipient to purchase products through aggressive and threatening tactics. Though it may not be illegal, it is most definitely an unethical practice.

If you receive any correspondence such as the one attached to this post. It IS NOT from your local government or bank. If you are concerned about any letters, or

phone calls that you believe to be suspicious, do no hesitate to call your local law enforcement.
