Franklin County, OH – The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office is reminding residents to stay vigilant against scammers as new schemes continue to surface across Ohio.
According to a recent update from the Sheriff’s Office, scammers are using more sophisticated tactics to deceive victims — from fraudulent phone calls and phishing emails to impersonation scams. The department has launched an online resource designed to help residents identify red flags and learn how to report suspicious activity.
The website, available through the Sheriff’s Office page, explains how to recognize common scams and provides steps to take if targeted. Officials emphasize that even if no money is lost, reporting attempted scams helps investigators track patterns and prevent future crimes.
“Education is your best defense,” the Sheriff’s Office noted in its statement. “We want to hear from residents who encounter these scams so we can protect others in the community.”
Anyone who suspects a scam can check online for more information or to file a report.
