Pa. State Police, Honesdale, wants to warn the public of what appears to be another automated phone scam that is currently taking place. This station has received phone calls from local residents stating that they received an automated phone call regarding their Wayne Bank Debit/Credit card pin numbers.
The message states something along the lines of "Push #1 to reset your current pin number."
State Police warn, “DO NOT CONDUCT ANY TYPE OF BANKING BUSINESS VIA AN AUTOMATED PHONE CALL.”
In some cases the residents that contacted the State Police do not even have a Wayne Bank account.
“We suggest you hang up on this type of call if in fact you receive it, and by all means do not give any information out over the phone,” said State Police.
You may have a phone number come up on your caller ID from New York. This station attempted to return a call to this number and learned that it belongs to a "Blog Talk Radio" and that "there are no shows listed."
If for some reason you followed the prompts and provided information, the State Police suggests you keep an eye on your banking accounts as well as your personal credit lines.
