The Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts in Harrisburg is warning state residents of a new phone scam in which callers threaten to place victims on the state’s sexual offender registry if they don’t immediately forward unpaid court fines or fees.
“We wanted to get the word out there as soon as we heard about it. The office is advising the public to stay vigilant against such scams,” said AOPC spokesperson Stacey Witalec.
She said the new scam involves calls that mimic the AOPC’s telephone number.
