(KNZA)--Brown County Sheriff John Merchant is warning residents about a financial scam being reported locally.
The Sheriff's Office has been informed recently that residents are receiving authentic looking notices in the mail from a local bank, Citizens State Bank, informing them that their mortgage has been closed.
It has been verified that the phone number, which is provided on the notice, is not associated with the bank in anyway. A mortgage ID number is also provided, which is also fake.
The residents that have been receiving the notices are actual customers of the bank.
Merchant the bank would never do business in this manner and its a financial scam.
He suggest those receiving such correspondence not reply to it all and contact the bank at once.
Those with concerns or who have been made a victim of the scam should notify law enforcement.
