MANSFIELD―The Mansfield Division of Police would like to alert area residents of a possible phone fraud/scam/impersonating a police officer occurring in our community. We have received dozens of complaints today from area residents as well as Columbus area residents who advised they are receiving calls from a “Sgt Ryan Grimshaw”. The caller is stating they need to discuss legal documents with them and then leaves a return phone number. If you call the number, you do get a voicemail that identifies as “Sgt. Grimshaw”.
Although the division does have a Sgt. Grimshaw on staff. These phone calls were not made by him. If you do receive a call, please do not respond. The division is currently investigating these calls.
If you have any information relating to this, please contact Lt. Robert Skropits at 419-755-9755
