On March 21, a Middlesex Borough resident said she received an email with a bill from what she initially believed was a legitimate company, police said.
She reportedly contacted the telephone number listed in the email and spoke with a man who requested her personal information, which she provided.
She was then instructed to purchase Target gift cards at a CVS Pharmacy and provided the caller with the PIN numbers, realizing afterward that she had been scammed.
The resident suffered a reported loss of $3,000 as a result of the fraud, police said.
