State police put out scam alert

The message gives instructions to click a link, that link will take them to a webpage asking for personal or confidential information.
ISP would like to remind Hoosiers the easiest way to prevent being scammed by text or by email is to ignore and delete unsolicited requests for information from unknown senders. Never provide any information to an unknown sender about personal identity, social security numbers, bank account(s) or credit card number(s), the release added.
