Authorities Warn Of Mercer Co. Scam

The Mercer County Sheriff’s Office and Juvenile-Probate Judge Mary Pat Zitter warned on Thursday that a scam is taking place in the county.

Individuals are calling victims indicating that they are from the Mercer County Probate Court and asking for people for their spouse's dates of birth and Social Security number.

The victims are also asked to call a 1-800 number. Officials said the court never contacts people or requests personal information over the phone.

If you have received one of these calls, report the incident to the Mercer County Sheriff’s Office at 419-586-7724.
