The Foster Township Police released a post on Facebook warning that scammers are using their non-emergency number as a “spoof” call.
Scammers disguise their phone number as (814) 362-4521, and if you have a missed phone call from this number, it is NOT the department.
If you receive a phone call from that number, do not call back stating you missed a phone call.
According to the post, the scammers are now causing people to call back, tying up 911 dispatchers more than a dozen times a day.
