SCAM WARNING: Two Fake Officer Calls Targeting Michigan Residents!

2 min read

Race Day Live  Michigan residents, be careful! Scammers are back with two sneaky tricks to steal your money.

The Ingham County Sheriff’s Office has reported two scams spreading fast, and they’re designed to make you panic and act without thinking.

The first scam involves someone pretending to be “Sgt. Common.” This fake officer calls people and says they need to discuss “confidential legal matters.”

They leave a number for you to call back, making it sound urgent and serious. But here’s the truth—real law enforcement never calls like this.

If you get a call like this, hang up immediately. Instead, contact the real authorities to confirm.

The second scam is an old trick using the name of Publishers Clearing House (PCH). A scammer calling himself “Isaac Miller” tells people they’ve won a huge cash prize.

But before they can claim it, they must buy a $500 “claimer’s card.” Sounds tempting, right? Well, it’s completely fake.

Real prize winnings don’t require you to pay anything upfront. This scam is just another way for criminals to take your money.

These scammers often target older adults who may not be as familiar with these tricks.

That’s why the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) warns people to be extra careful whenever money is involved. If someone asks you for cash before giving you a prize, it’s almost always a scam.

So, Michigan, stay alert. If something sounds too good to be true—or if someone claiming to be a cop calls asking for money—trust your instincts. Hang up, report the scam, and don’t let them win.
