Police say residents are getting calls from individuals claiming to be with the Federal Trade Commission and Social Security Administration in an effort to scam victims out of cash.
Police In Chester County are warning of a phone scam they say several people have recently fallen victim to.
According to police, a resident in West Whiteland Township first received a pop-up on his computer informing him that he had earned enough points for a free iPad from Walmart. Then, the victim got a phone call from someone claiming to be with the Federal Trade Commission who informed him that he had been scammed. That caller then told the victim to take money out of his bank account as a precaution.
The victim took cash out of his account, and then received yet another call from someone saying they were with the Social Security Administration. A short time later, an unknown person showed up at the victim’s home and picked up cash.
