Paso Robles Police warn of phone scam impersonating officers for missed jury duty payments via gift cards.
The Paso Robles Police Department warns residents of a phone scam where fraudsters impersonate officers, threatening arrest for missed jury duty unless payment is made via gift cards. Scammers use spoofing technology to display the police department's number and may reference real officer names and badge numbers for credibility.
