Police in York County are warning residents of two separate scams happening in the area.
People are going door-to-door asking for money to help the town, but police say it’s a scam.
Both of these have been reported in the last week. While police say sometimes legit workers or volunteers will come to your door, you should be careful and always ask for ID.
People living in the area near Clayoma Avenue in North Codorus Township told police about two different sets of solicitors showing up at their door. Both could be imposters trying to rip you off to make a few bucks.
In the first case, two men claimed they were with the local fire department and were selling appointments to have family pictures taken. The men told homeowners the money would go toward the local fire department.
The second incident happened November 8. Residents reported a woman showed up at their door asking for money to help improve roads in the township.
Southwest Regional Police say at least one family drive was taken advantage of.
“Take names, credentials down, ask for paperwork and tell them you’ll call back, research it and make your payment then,” explained one expert we talked to.
People add to never be afraid or hesitant to call 911 if you are suspicious.
“Absolutely, we’ll come out and check,” concluded an officer.
