BPSO issues scam alert

The Bossier Parish Sheriff’s Office has issued another scam alert. 
 
The latest scam making the rounds involves callers claiming the potential victim has missed jury duty and now a federal warrant has been issued for their arrest. The scammers will even offer the victim a chance to pay a lower fine if the victim follows their instructions.
 
Remember – legitimate law enforcement agencies will not ask for money over the phone. If anyone gets a call like this, just hang up. Stay vigilant. Talk to family and friends so they don’t fall victim either.
