Mentor Police Warn Senior Citizens about Scams

Don’t be a scam victim. Criminals are targeting Senior Citizens. If you are contacted to wire money to pay for court fines or outstanding bills for a relative or if a caller wants you to send money because you’re the winner of a lottery DO NOT GIVE, MAIL, OR WIRE MONEY. This may be a scam, even if the caller knows information about you or the names of your family members.

Contact the Mentor Police Department at 255-1234 to report a crime.
