Indiana Borough Police report that one person was almost involved with a scam last week.
Reports say officers were dispatched to a location within the borough for a report of a resident who received false documents through the mail, including a check worth $4,990. The documents advised the resident that they had won the lottery and to call a number listed on the documents prior to cashing the check.
Indiana Borough Police officers are currently investigating the scam and remind residents that these types of scams are common and difficult to solve. They also request that residents use common sense and good judgement during moments that are “too good to be true.”
If residents suspect a scam is taking place, or are a victim of a scam, they can call the Indiana Borough Police Department at (724) 349-2121.
