GLADSTONE — The Michigan State Police Gladstone Post has reported receiving numerous calls about a recent phone scam requesting money for the Michigan State Police, according to a news release from the post.

The caller identified himself as Mike Grassia, and claimed to be from the Michigan State Police and the FOP, police said in the release. He asked the people for monetary donations for their fundraiser.
