WARSAW – Kosciusko County police are warning us about an email scam that has surfaced in our area.
Sheriff Rocky Goshert says people have recently received emails containing fraudulent information, saying the owner’s credit card has been suspended.
The message goes on to say that activating the card is “quick and easy,” and the credit card has been “suspended for your protection.”
Goshert says the email than asks the person to complete a downloaded form that’s attached to the original message and provide personal information, including Social Security number, mother’s maiden name, credit card number and PIN number.
Kosciusko County detectives say the most recent information came from people who don’t currently own credit cards and immediately knew it was a scam attempt on their email accounts.
Goshert says the information has been released to tell us about the various methods of criminal fraud currently being used against the public.
