(Harrisburg, PA) There is a scam out there in Pennsylvania currently targeting those who receive SNAP benefits. The Pennsylvania Department of Human Services stated yesterday that SNAP clients are getting calls from some phone numbers telling them that the benefits are on hold until the eligibility can be verified by providing a pin and calling a number. The cell phone numbers of the scammers are 1-888-239-7710, 1-888-272-8720 and 1-888-737-6551, however; you can call 1-844-347-8477 if you get a scam call.
