Mt. Carmel Police Chief John Lockhart is warning local residents that his department is not calling local residents asking for donations. Lockhart says he’s been made aware that residents are receiving calls their caller I-D’s indicate are from the Mt. Carmel Police Department. Lockhart said the scammers are spoofing the number into making victims believe the calls are legit. The chief stressed that his department never solicits donations over the phone and anyone receiving similar calls should hang up and never give out any personal information.
