The Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office is warning residents of a recent phone scam circulating in Caddo Parish.

Financial Crimes Sgt. Chris Daniel says if you receive a phone call from someone stating he’s Sgt. Dexter White or any other CPSO deputy and he asks for money or claims you owe fines, it is a scam. No one from the Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office will ever ask anyone for payments over the phone, and they will never ask for any payment to be sent by mail. 

According to Sgt. Daniel, several people have reported being contacted by scammers recently. If you receive such a call, hang up immediately. Never pay money or any kind of compensation like gift/money cards and never provide personal information.

Thanks,
