The Department of Public Safety for Ferris State University says students have become the target of scammers.

The scam starts with a call from someone claiming to be with the FBI and caller ID sometimes appears as the actual FBI number.

The caller states that there's a warrant for your arrest and if you don't pay, they will arrest you and take away your financial aid.

The Ferris DPS wants everyone to know it IS a scam and do not send them money.
