College Township officials are warning residents of a scam in which the caller is using a spoofed township phone number and asking for credit card information.
The call will appear on caller ID as if it is coming from a College Township office, even though it is actually originating from a different phone number. The scam involves the caller claiming they are from the township and asking for credit card information for payments.
An alert explained that it is township policy not to ask for or receive credit card information by phone for any reason. Anyone who receives a call from someone claiming to be from College Township and requesting credit card or other payment information is asked to note the date and time and to contact the township at 814-272-1088
