Washington Township Police Department has an important message for the community!

This is a reminder from the Washington Township Police Department to always be alert for scams. We have recently received reports of two specific scams in the area.

The first involves a check being sent to the victim along with a letter stating you have won more money. The letter advises to cash the check and send money in order to claim your winnings.

The second scam involves an individual calling claiming a member of the victims family is being held at the Canadian or Mexican border for some reason. The caller tells the victim they must send money in order to get the family member released.

The Washington Township Police Department advises individuals to be very cautious. If you are unsure if something is legitimate or a scam check into it before proceeding.
