Secretary of State Warns Of Phishing Phone Scams

The Michigan Secretary of State is warning residents about phishing phone calls in which people are posing as state workers.

The scam involves callers claiming to be from a business or government office.

The scammers are also using what is known as “caller ID spoofing” so the ID displays a valid number of a Secretary of State office or another state agency which makes the call look legit.

Authorities say people should never give out credit card or social security information over the phone.
