The Washington State Patrol is warning the public they believe their headquarters’ telephone has been compromised.
The state patrol says they’ve received 30 complaints from citizens saying they were phoned by someone who identified themselves as a trooper.
The apparent trooper impersonator has accused those who’ve answered the calls of various violations including outstanding warrants, unpaid tickets, and unpaid school taxes, according to state patrol Capt. Monica Alexander.
The state patrol does not call people to collect fines or advise of such things, according to Alexander.
She says they are currently working to remedy the problem and advises the public if they get such a call to do the following:
• Do not answer any questions
• Do not agree to pay any fines
• Do not share any personal information
• Hang up the telephone

There are all type of telephone scams out there. Mr. Donald Trump called me a couple of month’s ago and told me that I had won $1 million plus a new car. I didn’t know that English was The Donald’s second language:)
Just make it a rule not to send anyone any money under any circumstances and don’t give anyone any personal, financial, or identification information.
These people work on the two basic human emotions – fear and greed.
The last four suggestions by the police are how you deal with police during an interrogation with them also. Check out youtube and see how many people get beat or killed for not answering questions.
