🚨 SCAM ALERT – PHISHING EMAILS 🚨

The Bainbridge Township Police Department would like to warn residents about phishing scams sent through email.

These scams often appear to come from banks, delivery services, or well-known companies, asking you to click a link or provide personal information.

Once the link is clicked, scammers may gain access to your accounts, passwords, or financial information.

⚠️ Common Signs of a Phishing Email:
• Urgent messages demanding immediate action
• Requests for passwords, banking, or personal information
• Suspicious links or attachments
• Email addresses that do not match the company name

✔️ How to Protect Yourself:
• Do not click links in suspicious emails
• Verify the sender by contacting the company directly
• Delete suspicious messages immediately
• Report scams to local law enforcement

If you believe you have been the victim of a scam, contact the Bainbridge Township Police Department so a report can be documented.

Please share this post to help protect friends, family, and neighbors from becoming victims.
