A warning today: scammers are posing as the state police and are using fear to trick people out of their cash.
Police say a caller posing as the police will tell the victim that a family member has been in a serious car crash and demand they call the accident scene.
The number they give is actually an overseas number that racks up a huge charge. The money goes to the scammers.
Several people in Lincoln Park have already been scammed. The Michigan State Police are reminding people that they will never call about a car accident, a trooper will always come to the home.
