CLEARFIELD CO., Pa. (GANT) – Lawrence Township police are warning residents of two recently-reported phone scams in the Clearfield area.
(This article was provided by our News Partner GantDaily.com.)
According to police, the first is from a caller claiming to represent Amazon and saying you’ve won money.
They request your checking account information, and money is placed there with a “pending status.”
Then, police say they cancel the transaction and pull out your account balance.
The second scam is a caller claiming to be with DirectTV with a similar scenario as above.
Police are urging residents to completely disregard such calls and to hang up. “If it’s too good to be true, it usually is.”
