San Jose police are warning of a scammer who is trying to rip people off by pretending to be an officer.
San Jose police said the man has been leaving phone messages for residents, claiming to be Sgt. Mike Harris. The man then asks for a payment on a prepaid credit card to clear the person's criminal record.
The San Jose Police Department said there is no Sgt. Mike Harris on the force and cautions residents that real police never seek any kind of payment.
