There Is A New Phone Scam In Town
The Bensalem Police Department has been receiving numerous reports of people calling Bensalem residents and posing as Bensalem Township Police Officers.
During these phone calls, they sometimes identify themselves using actual Bensalem Police officer’s names.
They often state that someone in the home has missed a Grand Jury date or hearing and owes money to avoid criminal or civil penalties.
These calls are scams. No one from the Bensalem Township Police Department, no matter the rank, will ever ask you for money.
If you have any questions about the validity of a police officer’s phone call, please report the incident to Bensalem Police at (215) 633-3719 or contact your local police department.
