NEGAUNEE, MI-- Phone scammers in Marquette County are now pretending to be from the Michigan State Police.
Troopers from the Negaunee Post say in the new scheme callers say they are members of the MSP and ask for money or other personal information. They use software that makes the caller ID number look like it’s actually from the State Police.
As of Thursday, at least three residents have reported receiving such a call.
Troopers say never give out personal information over the phone to someone you don’t know. Confirm the identity of a contact by speaking with the identified source, like your bank, credit card company, or government agency, and report any suspicious contacts to police.
