City officials in Griswold are warning of an e-mail scam. On a social media post, the City asked residents to ignore an e-mail purportedly from Mayor Brad Rhine. The fake message asks the receiver to purchase gift cards from the Mayor.

Griswold officials say “The City has been made aware of an email scam that hackers are using a fraudulent email for Mayor Rhine asking you to purchase gift cards. This is not from Mayor Rhine or the City of Griswold. If you have questions, please feel free to call City Hall at (712)778-2615.”
