The Ebensburg Borough Police Department would like to remind residents that door-to-door solicitors are permitted in the borough if they follow the requirements of an ordinance addressing solicitors, primarily, they MUST report to police station and provide photo ID of all involved solicitors.

Whether the solicitation occurs in person, or is received by phone, mail, email, or text message – officers recommend that residents properly verify the legitimacy of any solicitation before providing any personal and/or bank account or credit card information. If you are unsure, please contact the borough police at 814-472-8930 to ensure that door-to-door solicitors have been vetted and are legitimate.

Some important clues to be aware of:

If solicitors try to pressure you to hurriedly wire money, these are scams! Wiring money is like sending cash, you cannot get the money back

How can I tell what is a good reason to wire money?
If someone you do not know asks you to wire money, don’t do it.
That is a scam.
Scammers are clever.
They try to make things look real.

If a story sounds too good to be true…IT IS!

Scammers also want to rush you.
They want your money before you have time to think.
Before you do anything, stop and check, slow down and verify before sending or wiring money, or providing financial information!

The Ebensburg Borough Police Department wishes to advise the public of the emergence locally of an imposter scam.

An individual utilizing the name “Zayden Biden” is emailing vendors, claiming that they are coordinating the sales of booths and booth placement for Ebensburg’s upcoming PotatoFest event in September 2026.

This is a common imposter scams; a dishonest person sends an authentic looking message and tricks you into sending money to them.

Officers recommend that residents properly verify the legitimacy of any monetary solicitation – whether received by phone, mail, email, social media, or text message – before providing any personal and/or bank account or credit card information.

When in doubt, contact Danea Koss and Ebensburg Borough to verify the legitimacy of monetary solicitations. Always report the scam to your local police department
