Indiana residents are being warned about a scam involving fraudulent letters claiming they owe money. County recorders across the state have reported hearing from concerned residents who received these deceptive notices. Officials have confirmed that these letters are fake, and the Indiana Attorney General’s Office advises recipients to shred and dispose of them immediately. One county recorder attempted to call the number listed on a letter but was quickly hung up on when asking questions. Authorities remind residents that Indiana Recorders handle federal tax liens, while Indiana Clerks are responsible for state tax liens. If you receive a suspicious letter, do not respond—it’s a scam.
