Today, August 23rd 2019, the Newark Police has received two calls about an email they believed had been distributed by The City of Newark. One caller was a local resident and the other was from a company located in Southern California.
The email is FROM: “[email protected]”. The Subject of the email lists: “[secure] City of Newark”. There are two attached PDF documents that when opened, ask for personal information to be entered. After entering your information it is automatically sent to the Scammer which allows the Scammer to gain access to your personal accounts.
The Newark Police Department would like to remind the general public that the City of Newark will never email you or your business requesting your personal information. The below image depicts the email header and the content displayed within the Scam Email.
Please share information with your neighbors.
