The Kentucky State Police is warning the public of a phone scam where the scammer claims to be Kentucky State Police.

The Kentucky State Police advise that you do not provide any personal information or financial information to this call as the Kentucky State Police would never ask for financial information.

Law enforcement agencies will never ask anyone for banking or personal information, request money or make threats of arrest.

Officials say that it is best to treat every solicitation call as a scam call unless proven it’s legitimacy.
