Pennsylvania State Police Investigating New Scam
The Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) are investigating an organized fraud scheme in which scammers impersonate federal law enforcement agencies. Investigators say the scam typically begins with a pop-up appearing on the victim’s computer. The victim is then contacted by individuals claiming to represent federal officials. The scammers tell victims that their identity or Social Security number has been connected to criminal activity and that their bank accounts or personal information have been compromised. To date, approximately $6.5 million has been stolen through this scheme. Anyone who believes they may have been victimized with this scam is asked to contact Trooper Eric Dreisbach at 570-560-0625 for more information visit psp.pa.gov.
