The Michigan State Police (MSP) is warning residents about a phone scam. Impersonators claim individuals missed court dates or committed violations to pressure them into revealing personal information. The callers use this tactic to create a sense of urgency and panic. The MSP clarifies these calls are fraudulent; they will never request sensitive data or direct payments over the phone. For official matters, they make in-person contact. Residents should not share sensitive information with unknown callers and should hang up immediately if they receive a suspicious call.
