Over
the weekend, KSP Post 2 Madisonville was contacted by a concerned
citizen in reference to a possible scam. The concerned citizen advised
that they received a call from Louisiana. A male caller stated that they were going to send the potential victim
money from a pharmaceutical company because of faulty mesh from a
surgery many years ago. When the potential victim advised that they had
not had surgery, the caller stated that it was
due to taking anti-depressant drugs related to pregnancy. When
questioned where the caller received their information, the caller
responded the Kentucky Department of Health. The potential victim
responded to the caller that this was a possible scam and was
going to contact law enforcement. The caller then hung up.
At
the present time, this is the only report of this type of scam received
by Post 2. The KSP advise to never give out personal information to
anyone that you are not familiar with. To report a possible scam, please contact the KSP Post 2 Madisonville at (800) 222-5555 or contact
your local law enforcement agency.
