Phone scam threatens to add targets to PA s sex-offender registry, claims targets have unpaid fines
York Dispatch
The agency that oversees the state s court systems is warning people about a phone scam involving the agency.
The Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts has reported that the phone scam spoofs, or mimics, the AOPC s phone number, and those targeted are told they have unpaid court fines or outstanding fees.
The caller threatens to put targets on the state s Megan s Law sexual offender registry if they don t make payments, according to the AOPC.
The AOPC never makes such calls and never seeks payment by credit card, gift card, or any other means of electronic funds transfer for any reason, according to a Tuesday-evening news release.
