Michigan State Police are warning residents in West Michigan that there is a phone scam going around.

Troopers say scammers are calling citizens stating that they are with the Michigan State Police and giving various reasons, such as they missed a court date and there is a warrant for their arrest, and they need to send money.

The Michigan State Police say they will NEVER call and solicit money.

If you receive these calls, never give your personal or banking information, and hang up.
