    Beware of scammers claiming to be Ohio Homeland Security and Loveland Police

    Loveland, Ohio – The Loveland Police Department reported today on Facebook that a resident received a phone call claiming to be from the federal attorney general in Washington DC. “They told the resident their Social Security number had been compromised and asked for the number to confirm it so they could clear false reports.” The resident hung up on the scammer, however, they called back a few minutes later claiming to be a Loveland police officer with the police number on the caller ID.

    The post concluded with:

    “Our officers will NOT call under such circumstances. Do NOT give your personal information. A reminder that the Loveland Police Department will also never solicit donations over the phone or mail.”

    Beware of Scammers Claiming to be Ohio Homeland Security

    OHS Phone Number Spoofed; Don’t Fall for Telephone Scams

    COLUMBUS – The Ohio Department of Public Safety has received reports of a possible scam being perpetrated on Ohioans today from scammers claiming to be from Ohio Homeland Security (OHS).

    Ohio residents have reported receiving phone calls from scammers claiming to be from OHS and informing the call recipients that their identity had been stolen. Caller ID on these calls indicate the calls originated from the OHS main line 614-387-6171, but they did not; the Ohio Homeland Security main line was spoofed. Spoofing is when a caller deliberately falsifies the information transmitted to your caller ID display to disguise their identity. 

    “If you receive these calls, don’t fall for this scam,” said Ohio Homeland Security Executive Director Brian Quinn. “Hang up immediately and report it to either your local law enforcement or the Statewide Terrorism Analysis and Crime Center (STACC) at 1-877-647-4683.”

    Ohio Homeland Security, a division of the Ohio Department of Public Safety, does not investigate personal identity theft and would not make these kinds of phone calls to Ohio residents.

    Do not fall victim to telephone scams. Tips to protect yourself from telephone scams include:

    • Register your phone number with the National Do Not Call Registry.
    • Be wary of callers claiming that you’ve won a prize or vacation package.
    • Hang up on suspicious phone calls.
    • Be cautious of caller ID.

    Loveland, Ohio – There has been no snow emergency declared in Loveland, however, in case one is or you hear that one has been declared, below are the Loveland code sections that implement and guide City officials.

       (a)   When snow, sleet, freezing rain, or other weather conditions cause or appear likely to cause, in the judgment of the City Manager, slippery or hazardous conditions which might lead to serious congestion or hazard, the City Manager may declare a snow emergency.  The City Manager shall also declare the termination of such snow emergency as soon as conditions permit.

       (b)   “Snow emergency routes” are through streets, or portions of through streets, designated by official signs on one or both sides thereof, installed by order of the City Manager.  The City Manager is authorized and directed to designate such streets as snow emergency routes which, for the safety or convenience of the public and the accommodation of traffic, should be kept open and clear in times of snow emergency.

       (c)   During the period of any snow emergency, no vehicle may be parked on any snow emergency route, provided special signs are erected designating such snow emergency route.

       (d)   A vehicle parked on any snow emergency route at the time a snow emergency is declared shall be removed by the owner within three hours if such emergency is declared between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., or prior to 9:00 a.m. of the following morning if the emergency is declared within the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m.  Nothing in this section shall permit any vehicle to park in violation of any other parking restriction previously established by ordinance  or by erection of signs by order of the City Manager.

       (e)   Any vehicle parked on any snow emergency route during a declared snow emergency and after the times or periods designated for removal of such vehicle by (d) above, and any vehicle stalled or otherwise unable to move or operate on a snow emergency route during the time of a snow emergency, may be ordered by the City Manager or the Chief of Police to be towed from such snow emergency route.  Such vehicle shall be impounded and held by the order of the Police Department until the owner shall pay the reasonable expense of towing the vehicle.

       (f)   Whoever violates this section is guilty of a minor misdemeanor.

    (Ord. 1978-23.  Passed 4-25-78.)
