The San Luis Obispo Police Department is warning the public about a phone scam aimed at extorting money from local residents.
Scammers are calling residents and posing as police officers in attempts to extort money from them over the phone, according to the police department. Police say they will never call anyone and ask for a payment of any kind.
“Protect yourself, hang up and don’t engage with these callers,” police stated in a social media post.
