Mt. Pleasant Township police are warning residents that men with foreign accents claiming to be from the U.S. Treasury are calling residents.
Several residents have told police that the callers have notified them that they have been awarded a $6,000 grant but to claim it, they have to send $200 through Western Union in order to release the check. The calls appear to have come from the New York and Washington, D.C., areas.
Police warn it is a scam and not to send money.
