On Thursday, January 18, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office was alerted to a scam being sent out by e-mail to cities and townships in Polk County.
The scam is sent from a non-Polk County email address and requests payment for computer software regarding tax revenue collection. The e-mail signature card shows that it came from the Polk County Auditor/Treasurer/Recorder. One of the email addresses used in the scam is countytreasurer468@gmail.com. All emails sent from Polk County will end in @co.polk.mn.us.
If you receive any e-mail you believe to be a scam, contact your local Law Enforcement.
