California warns of scam where fraudsters posing as AMBER Alert officials seek personal info.

The California Highway Patrol warns of a scam where fraudsters pose as AMBER Alert representatives, offering to "register" children and requesting personal information or home visits. The AMBER Alert system does not require registration and is only activated by law enforcement. The public is advised not to provide personal details or answer unknown numbers and to report any suspicious calls to local police.
