There is phone scam that was reported to the Jim Thorpe Police today. It is reported that a resident answered a phone call and was greeted with this voice message We have detected illegal activity from your bank accounts on your internet banking, the only way to get this taken care of it , is to report it to the Federal Reserve Bank. The message then proceeded to say please remain on the line and we will start a case with the federal reserve. Press 1 now. This is a scam. If you have any questions on your banking accounts, please contact your bank and as always never provide personal information over the phone to unknown sources.
