Victim Location 35405
Type of a scam Phishing
We received a letter stating an outstanding warrant in another state (Town of Livingston, LA) existed and included a citation number. The letter states must pay the amount requested, $321.75, and urges "to take advantage of this opportunity" to have the arrest warrant recalled. Letter requests to pay online or mail check to Town of Livingston, LA, PO Box 118312, Carrollton, TX 75011-8312.
The addressee on the letter includes only part of a family member’s name. Thinking a name should be correct on a citation, we were suspicious. We called the Town of Livingston, LA courthouse and no record of a citation for the targeted family member exists, according to the clerk we spoke with on the phone.
I called the number on the letter to report no citation exists. They have called my phone back several times since trying to collect the money. We think this is a scam and have not paid any money.
