Attorney General Andy Beshear issued a Scam Alert following a report from an employee at a Woodford County church who received a scam property tax delinquency notice in the mail. The scam letter threatens seizure of the church property if taxes, penalty and interest totaling more than $21,000 are not immediately over the phone. The letter appears to be from the state of Kentucky Bureau of Tax Enforcement, an agency that does not exist, and includes an official seal and a phone number to call to make payments. The Attorney General’s office is working with authorities to trace the scammer, and advises contacting your county sheriff’s office to verify any property tax delinquency before making a payment.
