Glen Rock NJ, the Glen Rock Detective Bureau is now investigating the incident. Authorities are working to trace the origin of the email and identify the perpetrator behind the attempted scam.
A Growing Concern: Payroll Fraud
Cases like this highlight the importance of robust security measures for payroll systems. Email-based scams are a common method for fraudsters to target organizations, relying on impersonation and social engineering to bypass security protocols.
The borough is urging employees and administrators to remain cautious of similar schemes and to verify all requests related to sensitive financial information through trusted channels.
How to Stay Safe from Payroll Scams
Glen Rock Police recommend the following precautions:
- Verify email requests for direct deposit changes by contacting the employee directly using a known phone number or in-person communication.
- Avoid clicking links or downloading attachments from unsolicited emails.
- Implement multi-factor authentication for access to payroll systems.
What’s Next?
As the investigation continues, the borough and its police department remain committed to protecting employee data and preventing future fraud attempts.
