Potential Telephone Scam / Impersonating a Police Officer

• August 3, 2023

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 “Lieutenant or Captain Chad Brubaker”. The caller is asking for a

credit card number because the person called did not show up for court as

ordered by subpoena.

Although the division does have a Captain Chad Brubaker 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
