LIVINGSTON PARISH, La. (BRPROUD) — Livingston Parish authorities are alerting residents to an email scam circulating in the area.
The scam includes a fake email that appears to be from the President of the Louisiana Sheriff’s Association (LSA), Jason Ard, asking recipients for gift card donations for veterans.
In a social media post, Ard reminds the public that government agencies will never ask for gift card donations.
He asks the public to not reply to the email.
