Their mail carrier asked if Ken was moving, and when they said no, the mail carrier told them that someone had requested to have his mail forwarded to a different address. Ken canceled the change online, and when they got their mail, it included credit cards. They suspect whoever changed Ken's address was hoping to receive the credit cards.
The Zarkers alerted police and the postal service about the potential scam.
4. Harrisburg porch pirate strikes in multi-colored jacket and no mask
Someone stole packages from Mark Shelleman's porch, and his doorbell camera captured it all. The man rang the doorbell, checked to make sure nobody was around, and left. Then he came back and grabbed the packages from the porch.
Harrisburg Police later identified the man as Shamont Sapp, and they said charges against Sapp are pending. The abc27 Investigators found that Sapp has a lengthy criminal history including bank robberies and mail fraud.
