Authorities in Central Wisconsin are warning of a phone scheme this Wednesday, that's meant to rob you of your identity.

Police in Eau Claire say an automated voice message says your debit card has been suspended, and in order to reactivate it, you need to enter your card number, expiration date, and pin.

Police in the area says they've received reports of the scam, and are asking you to simply hang up.
