COLUMBUS: The Ohio Department of Insurance is warning about a telephone scam targeting auto insurance customers.
Department
Director Mary Jo Hudson said today that victims are receiving calls
saying their insurance payment can't be processed and that they'll need
to provide their bank account number as well as other personal
information to resolve the problem.
Hudson
said in today's economy, phone scams are becoming more prevalent, and
consumers need to be on guard or risk falling prey to identity thieves.
She
said to be very careful when anyone other than your insurance agent
contacts you about your policy. Also, if you're suspicious about a
caller, insist on getting a name and telephone number and don't give
the person your financial or other personal information.
