PUBLIC ALERT ON IMPOSTER PHONE AND EMAIL SCAM(S)

The Rapides Parish Clerk of Court would like to alert the public that an email scam has been circulating. The email notifies the recipient of a Notice to Appear in a court case, however, official court notifications that require court appearances are not sent via email for Rapides Parish. This email is a scam and members of the public should NOT respond to or click on any attachment or link pertaining to appearing in court. If you receive this email, you are advised to delete it as soon as possible and refrain from opening it.

The phone scam shows as our, the Rapides Parish Clerk of Court, phone number on caller IDs. The message on the other end uses fear and threats of arrest to con you into giving them money or information personal and/or financial. We, The Rapides Parish Clerk of Court, NEVER call people about arrest warrants, collection of fines or penalties, and we do NOT accept payment for outstanding warrants. If you receive one of these calls, hang up and report it to us the Rapides Parish Clerk of Court, 318-473-8153 or the Rapides Parish Sheriff's Office 318-473-6700.

Thank you.
