The California Highway Patrol is warning residents of San Luis Obispo County about a new phone scam involving individuals posing as Amber Alert representatives. According to KSBY, the scammers offer to “register” children in the Amber Alert system, requesting confidential information and proposing in-person meetings at victims’ homes. CHP officials say that’s not how the Amber Alert system works. So, if somebody calls and asks about an Amber Alert registry it’s a scam.
