PITTSBURGH — (WPXI) – Lions Clubs across Pennsylvania are being advised to “be extra vigilant” concerning bank accounts and transactions after thieves targeted at least two clubs in the state. A Facebook post from the Pennsylvania State Council of Lions Clubs’ acting administrator reports that incidents have been reported in club chapter 14-B, which serves Allegheny County, as well as 14-E, which serves Westmoreland County. Dr. Kamal Gella, the district governor for 14-B says scammers have managed to duplicate the service organization’s checks. The thief or thieves also managed to get a cashier’s check with the organization’s account numbers. With the investigation ongoing, he didn’t want to state exactly how much money had been stolen, but he wanted to make sure the community is aware of these types of schemes. “It can happen to any one of us. When we write a check and we mail it, the check has our account number and routing number,” he said. “This new scam is getting ahold of the check, photoshopping a signature and ordering checks.” He said “some banks were able to catch it, (but) some banks were not able to catch it.”
