LOWER MERION TOWNSHIP, PA — Officials in Lower Merion Township are warning residents of an email scam making the rounds.

The emails ask targets to "Review Document" with the message, "Complete with Docusign: Township of Lower Merion.pdf."

The DocuSign link opens a document with additional instructions to click on a suspicious link, which may either download or install malicious software, or direct the user to a fictitious website to get personal information.

Anyone receiving an email of this nature is encouraged to ignore or delete the email message and not click on any links.
