ROBO SPAM AND ROBO SCAMS

    This was printed in an on-line paper police report :
A resident reported she received a phone message that her grandson was arrested in NJ and needed bail money. Resident hung up on caller. Grandson was not arrested. Please be aware of these scams.

   A Better Idea   Instead of being "aware of these scams" why is there not an immediate button combination you can push when you have a spam caller or a scam caller. Ie: push *333 if it appears to be spam or *444 if you suspect a scam - that number would go to the police and the phone company, who - as soon as they got 3 of these notices - would be on the case. The phone company makes a fortune accommodating these callers - but spends none of that profit trying to prevent them. It is time for our legislators to change that dynamic and pursue the criminals rather than allowing them to impact so many lives.

Who is interested in pursuing this ?

Abington Township, with John Spiegelman in charge, revamped the entire Township website at the end of 2015 and broke all the links to the information we had archived on this site for you. In 2017, Manager Richard Manfredi arrived and assigned someone not qualified to redo the entire website again. They not only broke all archived links we had reinstated, but made everything as impossible to find as they could. Nearly all of our comments and recommedations to fix the Township website have been wholly ignored.

So we do need volunteers to work together helping the Township create a site that is functional and accessible. We will be reinstating links as we find them....if the data is still available. So... please let us know if you find a broken link. Send us the URL of the link and the name of the page it is on, and if we can, we'll reinstate it.
Thanks for the help.
