Scam/Fraud Alert. Citizens have also been receiving texts message stating they have an unpaid citation. The Linden Police Department will only communicate via certified letter. You should never receive a text or phone call from a government agency asking for bank or financial information. If you have any questions about a text, call or uncertified letter, you can contact the Police Department. One of our officers will be happy to answer any questions or assist.

The Harrison County Sheriff’s Office has been made aware of fraudulent traffic court notices being sent to citizens claiming you owe money for parking or toll violations.

Let us be very clear:�❌ These notices are NOT legitimate�❌ Do NOT scan the QR code�❌ Do NOT send any money

These scammers are using fear tactics and official-looking documents to trick you into paying fake fines. Government agencies will not demand payment through QR codes, nor will they pressure you with threats like this without proper, verifiable processes.

If you receive one of these:�👉 Do not respond�👉 Do not provide personal or financial information�👉 Report it to your local law enforcement agency

When in doubt, call the court directly using a verified phone number! Do not call the one listed on the notice.

We don’t want your money… scammers do. Don’t give it to them.

Stay alert, Harrison County. 👀
