Scam Alert: Don’t Let Phone Scammers Rush You

Caller ID can be spoofed and scammers use urgency, false bank messages, and even cloned voices—stop, verify, and never give sensitive information or move money at a caller’s request.

Caernarvon Township Police warn that scammers can spoof caller ID, know personal details, and even mimic voices using AI. Never share passwords, PINs, Social Security numbers, or verification codes; don’t transfer money, buy gift cards, or call numbers the caller provides—hang up and contact the company using an official number. Use a secret family code word for verification, contact your bank and local police if you suspect fraud, and share this alert to help protect others.
