Kentucky residents warned about scam asking to pay for records

FRANKFORT, Ky. – Secretary of State Michael Adams is issuing a scam warning for certain Kentucky businesses on Friday.

He says there is a new scam that tries to sell records that are available online for free.

“My office does not solicit Kentuckians to purchase records or charge exorbitant fees,” Adams says. “Beware of any third-party solicitation to purchase documents from our Office.”

Suspected fraud may be reported to the attorney general’s office.
