South Valley residents had the chance to learn about various types of scams, including the common call from a grandson who needs bail money or a call from someone claiming to be from the IRS, demanding back taxes.
"If something doesn't sound right or it sounds too good to be true, always trust but verify," Assemblyman Rudy Salas, Bakersfield, said.
