- Police are warning Cal State Fullerton students about a new scam targeting parents’ bank accounts on the basis of a fake arrest.
The scam involves calling parents in the middle of the night and telling them their child has been arrested. The scammer typically describes a scenario where the child was pulled over during a traffic stop and drugs were found inside their vehicle.
The caller then asks the parent to wire bail money to release their children from custody. Police are warning the public to be aware.

Sometimes I really hate people...the level and amount of scamming happening these days is sickening
Hate those people then that do the scamming… dont hate people in general
Probably because many people post their lives on social media. It's not hard for scammers to find "sensitive information"
Well I would think the child would be calling the parent with the one phone call from jail ....so call ur kids if scammers call u with that bs
Im glad to know about this scam which will likely spread to other college campuses! Thanks for reporting on this!!
Let’s look for them 👁️
Please use common sense!
Anyone familiar with California knows that this is a scam....California doesn't have bail, they just let you go....
The whole eduction system is a scam.

Don’t worry just pay your kids bail with target gift cards 😂😂😂
Just what we need more scammers. Jesus Christ. If I were the parent I would just hang up. lol

CSUF probably has emergency contact info already on file for the parents, and could notify them. No need for broadcast news to run the story.
