LEHIGH COUNTY

A media release from the Lehigh County Public Information Office detailed the following:

“It has come to our attention that the main phone line 610-782-3001 for the Lehigh County Executive Office has been spoofed by an outside source and to make fictious calls to residents.

“Be advised the phone line itself has not been hacked, but an outside source is impersonating their phone calls under that number. This is known as spoofing.

“We are asking those who have received a call or message from 610-782-3001, to please ignore the call and not give out any personal information.

“Rest assured; it is still safe to call into the main office number. However, please do not accept any phone calls from the line at this time. We are working diligently to resolve this issue.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.”
