Reminder Not to Give Out Personal Information

With tax time upon us, The Mount Vernon Police Department would like to remind everyone to not give out any personal information over the phone or transfer money to anyone without first verifying information. Individuals are encouraged to ask questions, verify information and be aware of the various types of phone, email and internet scams before giving out any information. If you feel that you have been targeted or the victim of some type of scam, feel free to contact the police department or the Ohio Attorney General’s Office.
