About two weeks ago a Lower Makefield resident received a call from a person saying they were from the Social Security Administration and advised they needed to secure their funds, according to police. 

$ 8,000 later, the resident was an actual victim, according to police.

Tonight Middletown Township, in conjunction with the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office is holding a scam prevention class as part of its Citizen Summer School Program.

Anyone can attend, its free and could potentially save you lots of grief.
