The Natchitoches Parish Sheriff’s Office has received multiple reports about scam phone calls.

Scammers are posing as NPSO detectives, claiming that the person has missed a court date and will be arrested unless they provide personal information over the phone.

This is a SCAM.

Do not provide any personal or financial information over the phone. Law enforcement agencies do not demand such information in this manner.

If you receive one of these calls:
Hang up immediately
Do not engage with the caller
Report the incident to the NPSO

Stay alert. Share this warning with friends and family to help prevent fraud.
