--- SCAM ALERT |
Sheriff's Office Warns Residents about Telephone Scam
The Ouachita Parish Sheriff’s Office has been made aware of a current telephone phishing scam. Scammers are masking their caller ID information with the Sheriff’s Office main line, 318.329.1200. Once the phone is answered, the scammer tells the victim they are being investigated for credit card fraud and they must give personal and credit card information or a warrant will be issued for their arrest.
The Ouachita Parish Sheriff’s Office will never call to request this information. If you receive any phone calls with someone asking for any of your personal information or credit card information, Please DO NOT give out any information and call 318.329.1200 to report it.
Tips to protect yourself:
- Don't assume that the information displayed on your phone is accurate, any phone number can be masked.
- Never give out personal or financial information over the phone unless you know EXACTLY whom you are dealing with.
- If you have doubts about who's on the phone, call the Company's main number rather than talking to the person who calls you.
