VERNON PARISH, La. - The Vernon Parish sheriff says a recent telephone scam is targeting residents in central Louisiana.
According to Sheriff Sam Craft, here's how it works: A caller will claim to be a law enforcement officer and claim that there are warrants out for the person's arrest.
The caller goes on to say if money is sent, the charges will be dropped.
Investigators say not to buy in to the pitch because these claims are false.
