Unfortunately, these scams are growing more common with the increasing sophistication of scammers. Thus, we anticipate that our clients could experience an increase in inquiries from homeowners/customers who have received these letters and are questioning their legitimacy. The Bucks County Department of Consumer Protection can be contacted at 1-888-942-8257. Bucks County is the fourth most populous county in the state of Pennsylvania.
