LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) — The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office is warning residents about a new scam targeting taxpayers this season.
Scammers, who previously relied on phone calls, are now using text messages to trick recipients into clicking a fraudulent link to “pay their property tax bill.”
Officials stress that this is a scam. The Sheriff’s Office will never contact citizens by phone, text, or social media to request or collect any form of payment.
Residents who receive these messages are urged to:
-
Avoid clicking any links
-
Never share personal or financial details
-
Delete the message immediately
The Sheriff’s Office reminds the public to stay alert and verify all tax-related communications directly through official government channels.
