Clearfield, PA – Police in Clearfield Borough got reports of a woman who was breaking into a house through an open window. When they arrived at the scene, they found that the woman just locked her keys inside and was trying to get into her own house.
In this case, the report turned out to be a misunderstanding, but don’t let that keep you from reporting potential crimes.
Officers are also getting reports of various scams, including a call from a phony lending company. Here at the radio station, we also got calls from people telling their stories about scam calls they had recently received. These types of fraud can be very convincing and scam artists are constantly developing new ways to convince you to give up your money or personal information.
If you are the victim of a scam, don’t be embarrassed. Tell police about it immediately so they can other people avoid falling victim to it. And also be on your toes. If you get a call from a number you don’t recognize, especially if they are threatening you or promising you something that sounds too good to be true, it is likely a scam.
