LAWRENCE TOWNSHIP – Lawrence Township police are warning the public about a “gold and jewelry” scam.
According to police, this scam recently occurred at the Sapp Bros. Truck Stop. Police say an Indian female had approximately $2,000 in gold and jewelry for sale there for $170.
The female processed the transaction but allegedly didn’t give the victim their gold. She then left the scene. Police say the jewelry was appraised locally, and it was valued as “cosmetic.”
“It had no value,” police say. They went on to warn people not to purchase items from anyone who is traveling along Interstate 80. “If the products sound too good to be true, they probably are.”
