Fake door hanger scam targets Northeast Ohio residents
CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – A new scam involving fake door hangers is spreading across Northern Ohio, prompting warnings from the Better Business Bureau.
The fraudulent flyers feature bright orange or green paper with bold “URGENT” warnings that demand residents call a private investigator immediately.
The Better Business Bureau says the door hangers have appeared from Toledo to Sandusky and now Cleveland.
“They are asking you to react. It is a warning, we need to hear from you. You are in violation of some city code. Please contact us and we have seen two different phone numbers listed on those door hangers,” said Ericka Dilworth, VP of Operations for Cleveland BBB.
The flyers claim an investigation is underway and cite “ORC 4749.0.”
However, when BBB staff called the numbers listed on the hangers, they were not connected to any private investigator.
“It just rings. So there is no way to know what is the end game,” Dilworth said.
In Streetsboro, Police Chief Patricia Wain said her department does use door hangers for legitimate purposes, but there are clear differences from the fake ones.
“We use them for a variety of reasons. Typically if want to let someone know that we were at their house or their place of business. To notify someone that we were their for an alarm drop and we found a door that was open or a window that was open,” Wain said.
Legitimate police door hangers display the police departments name at the top with their phone number directly underneath.
Wain advises residents to always call their local police department to verify information.
“Make sure the phone number is accurate. That is going to be your first line of defense because I could put any phone number on any of these cards and you could be calling whoever,” Wain said.
If residents find one of the fake hangers on their door, they should not call the number listed. Instead, they should report it to local police and the BBB, then throw it away.
“The scammers are out there. They are working hard. It is their job and we have to keep up with them and find the new ones and try to stop them from getting away with it,” Wain said.

An Ohio lawmaker wants to cap late fees and expand payment deadlines for parking tickets
CLEVELAND — An Ohio lawmaker has introduced legislation that would extend the deadline to pay parking tickets and limit late fees.
OH Rep. Darnell Brewer (D-Cleveland) says H.B. 653 would give drivers 30 days to pay parking tickets and cap late fees at $20 per ticket.
Brewer said the legislation would reduce an unfair burden on residents who cannot afford the fees, which he said are “excessive.”
“You should not pay double of what the parking ticket is,” Brewer said.
Brewer said he introduced the legislation after he was charged late fees that exceeded the original amount of his parking tickets.
He said he received three parking tickets in Cleveland, which were each for $25.00.
After 15 days, the city began charging late fees. By the time Brewer paid the tickets, the late fees had accumulated to $190.80— 154% of the original fines, he said.
Brewer said several municipalities charge similar late fees.
For example, in Parma, parking ticket costs quadruple after 30 days.
Brewer said drivers need more than 15 days to pay or contest a parking ticket.
“Things happen in life,” he said. “We didn’t expect this many snow days to come. The city has been shut down for two days. There’s two days you cannot contest those tickets.”
Lakewood resident Aaron Cropper said he supports Brewer’s proposal.
He said a $25 parking ticket eventually cost him over $100 because of late fees and other costs.
“I think that it’s extortion,” Cropper said. “People have to park. People have to go to work.”
Cropper also said cities shouldn’t impose hefty fees for a minor infraction.
“I don’t believe that it’s fair,” he said. “I think they should give people the time to pay for a common mistake. It’s not like you committed a terrible crime. You parked somewhere.”
Brewer emphasized that his bill isn’t about avoiding accountability. It doesn’t propose changing municipalities’ ability to impose parking fines.
“We’re not trying to say escape the tickets. We’re just saying give us more time and cap the fees,” Brewer said.
Cleveland officials declined to comment on the legislation Thursday.
They said they are still reviewing the proposal.
