State police from the Kittanning barracks are reminding people of a scam that is circulating through the area that is a variation on the gift card scam.
In this situation, reported in Manor township earlier this month, a Ford City man was contacted by a scammer claiming they were with Xfinity. The victim was asked to purchase $660 worth of gift cards and give the information over the phone to an individual claiming to be with Xfinity.
If you receive any such a call, do not give out any information over the phone, and call police to notify them.
