*** Just a reminder. They have started making calls this week. *** The Sheriff's Office is currently collaborating with Law Enforcement Partners of Bowling Green, KY to create a department calendar for 2027. They will be calling local businesses to seek sponsorship for advertising space on the calendars. This is NOT a scam. Thank you in advance for your support.

Sharing from Franklin County Sheriff's Office. Another scam alert! This is going through Ashtabula County also.

SCAM ALERT!

The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office wants to warn you about this scam that is popping up around Central Ohio. We have received several reports of people receiving a Traffic Violation Notice, claiming to be from the Municipal Court of the County of Franklin. It says it’s a Final Notice – Court Enforcement Action for an “outstanding traffic violation involving your registered vehicle with the State of Ohio.”

This is a SCAM. Do NOT scan the QR code.

We want to take a moment to remind you that any requests for payments for toll fees, parking violations, or speeding violations that are made via email or text message are a scam. Never click on a link or scan a QR code from an unknown source. If you are ever wondering about the legitimacy of a legal summons, contact the agency at a number you find yourself on their website. And please report any scams to your local law enforcement agency.
