(Undated) – The Illinois State Police has issued a phone scam warning. According to the ISP, over the past few days, they have received several phone calls from individuals reporting a person claiming to be an ISP investigator telling them their identity has been stolen. The ISP says this is a scam and special agents will never make cold calls requesting personal or financial information, or ask you to confirm personal or financial information. If you receive a phone call from someone claiming to be an ISP investigator, ask for the caller’s name, badge number, and phone number, and then hang up. Never provide or confirm personal or financial information over the phone to an unknown caller.
