Oh-my-gosh!
This is a new low in scams.
Someone calls you and says they're from the CHP, there's been an accident and you need to hit star 72 (*72) and a phone number for more information.
People panic and do it.
Then they get hit with a HUGE phone bill, because they activated the call-forwarding function of their phone. So the scammer makes calls on their nickel.
Don't believe it!
The CHP won't call you, inmates can make more than one call (and they're COLLECT calls anyway -- not collect, not from the jail -- trust me!), and the phone company isn't testing their equipment.
No, no, no!

Don't be a victim! Fight back and when in doubt, hang up that phone, turn off that computer, close that door. Don't let scammers Bogart you!
The BULL DROPPINGS get deeper every day! Don't let them smell up your life!
