Election seasons means another opportunity for scammers to target residents.  Don't fall victim to these scams.  Upper Providence Township Police Department reminds residents to never send money to someone you do not know, and never give your personal information to strangers.  

• Be aware of making donations through the phone.  Often scammers "spoof" phone numbers to appear as a legitimate organization.  A PAC will never pressure you into making a donation.
• Be aware of political surveys offering a prize at the end.  Scammers use this tactic to gain personal information.  
• You cannot register to vote over the phone.  
• Vet and fact-check information before sharing on social media.
• Make sure your technology has updated virus protection.
