The Washington Police Department is warning residents of several scams.
The department says several callers have reported the scammers have a lot of personal information including address, past addresses, socials security numbers, and birthdates.
They tell you that you are in legal trouble or that if you do not comply a warrant will be issued for your arrest.
They ask for you to transfer money, give bank information, or buy gift cards.
Several have been told that a vehicle owned by you was impounded at the Mexico border with a large quantity of narcotics in the vehicle. The scammers then want you to send money, or that a warrant will be issued for your arrest.
If you are ever in doubt about a call you receive, authorities say you should contact the Police Department.
Police say can also check online for similar scams and advise you to avoid giving out bank or personal information.
