On July 30 a fraud was perpetrated by individuals who called an Emmaus resident using spoofed telephone numbers of the Internal Revenue Service as well as the Emmaus Police Department, which allowed the caller ID of the victim to display as the IRS and Emmaus Police, according to Emmaus police.

The resident was told his identity was compromised, several fraudulent bank accounts were opened in his name and he needed to satisfy the debts or he would be arrested. The resident was instructed to purchase gift cards from several stores and to await a call back from the suspects.

The suspects called back, again using spoofed telephone numbers and the resident provided the access numbers to the gift cards. The victim reported the total amount of gift cards he purchased was $17,000, according to Emmaus police.
