The Hardin County Sheriff’s Office is warning residents of a reported scam attempt.

The sheriff’s office says several area residents have reported scam text messages claiming to be from Chase Bank. The messages often say there is a payment pending or an account issue and includes a link for the user to log in.

The sheriff’s office says these messages are phishing scams meant to steal personal and banking information. If you receive such a message, never click the link. Do not respond to the message and delete it immediately.

If you do have a Chase account, log in directly through the official website or app, not through a text link. If you notice anything suspicious, contact the bank’s fraud department.

The sheriff’s office says these scams largely originate outside of the United States, which means they are difficult to track.

More information on ongoing scams can be found on the Better Business Bureau’s Scam Tracker.
