Yesterday evening a handful of residents reported a persistent call from +13132087820 claiming to represent Michigan law enforcement. Callers typically start with your first name, cite a police captain, and push a bogus fundraising request. The pattern—repeated outreach, vague authority, and pressure for donations—matches classic impersonation scams. Hang up immediately, block the number, and never share personal or financial details. If you’re unsure, contact your local police department directly using an official number. Report the incident to the FTC and your state’s consumer protection agency to help curb future abuse.
This caller immediately used the recipient's first name and claimed to be assigned by a captain, calling repeatedly over several months; upon calling back, a message from the 'fundraising office for Michigan police of mid-Michigan' was received, which had a different name than the one provided by the caller.
The caller, who claimed to be from the Police Department, addressed me by my first name and requested my support for a fundraising event
The number 313-208-7820 should stop harassing people.
They claim to be calling on behalf of the michigan state police, sounds fishy to me
