SCAM ALERT

The Iberia Parish Sheriff’s Office has received a report of a scam caller claiming to be “Lieutenant Walsh” with the Iberia Parish Sheriff’s Office Pretrial Division.

The caller contacted a local resident from a 318 area code and claimed that a family member had a $1,500 bond, but stated that if $950 was paid that day, the individual could be transferred into a program.

This is a scam.

The Iberia Parish Sheriff’s Office will never call and demand payment over the phone to reduce a bond, secure someone’s release, or place an individual into a pretrial program.

Scammers may use official-sounding titles, employee names, divisions, or information about a family member in an attempt to make the call appear legitimate.

If you receive a suspicious call:

* Do not provide personal or financial information.
* Do not send money or make payment over the phone.
* Hang up and contact the Iberia Parish Sheriff’s Office directly at 337-369-3711 to verify any information.

Please share this information with family and friends to help prevent others from becoming victims of this scam.
