Bethel Park police warn of scam
Bethel Park Police Department is warning residents of an unusual scam that involves unsolicited deliveries.
According to a press release issued by the police, the “brushing scam” sees its potential victims receiving packages in the mail they did not order, with no sender information.
The packages typically contain jewelry or small electronics, as well as a QR code. Police warn not to scan the code with their phones, as the scammer could access personal information.
According to police, you may keep the item in the package if you wish, or you can mark it “return to sender.”
Anyone with information can contact police at their tip line, 412-851-2773.
