Officials with the Pennsylvania court system are warning about a new phone scam.
According to a spokesperson, the courts were recently alerted about a scam that involves the caller telling people that they owe unpaid court fines and outstanding fees. The scammer then threatens to place the individual on the state’s sex offender registry.
Officials say to never give personal information or forms of payment over the phone.
Should you receive a call like this, hang up and contact local or state police.
