Monterey County DA’s office warns public against scammers posing as law enforcement

The Monterey County District Attorney’s Office warned residents against scammers masquerading as law enforcement to trick victims into providing personal information or sending money.

In a statement Tuesday, the District Attorney’s Office said that a scammer claims to be a process server trying to find an individual and asks for personal information. Another scheme involves a swindler claiming that money must be paid to bail a loved one out of jail.
