A caller pretending to be a police lieutenant got a hold of a teenage employee at a local business, and told her the business needed to pay a fine. Police say it was all a scam.
Police say the teen drove to a nearby ATM in an attempt to withdraw money. The teen’s father was able to locate her before any money was transferred.
Bensalem Township police say the teen was never in the company of the unknown caller and that she was driving alone when her father was able to catch up to her. Investigators are working to identify the caller. Police are hoping the incident can serve as a reminder that there are many different types of phone scams, and that no police officer will ever call you to collect a fine. You should contact police directly to verify if an officer is attempting to contact you.
