KALAMAZOO COUNTY, MI (WKZO AM/FM) Tuesday, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel issued a warning to consumers regarding a recent rise in scam calls.
In this latest scam, callers are said to be impersonating law enforcement officers or agencies. They may claim the victimâs name is on a package of drugs and money, or there is a warrant out for their arrest.
The scammer tells the victim to wire money and/or purchase gift cards. They are then instructed to provide the gift card numbers over the phone to take care of the warrant.
