The California Highway Patrol is warning the public of a recent series of phone scams. Officials say the caller claims to be a member of the CHP and asks for payment for missed jury duty, outstanding fines, or an outstanding arrest warrant. The agency is reminding the community that the CHP never asks for payments over the phone. Anyone who receives calls of this nature should ask for specific information, including court case number and date of ticket, then verify the information with the court.
