An old scam reappeared in San Luis Obispo County with a new disguise.
In December 2022, the SLO County Sheriff’s Office issued a warning about scam phone calls where swindlers impersonate members of local law enforcement.
“Typically, in the past, we would get reports of these types of scams around the holidays,” Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Tony Cipolla told New Times on Jan. 3. “But now it seems they occur throughout the year and not just targeted at one specific timeframe.”
