KENNER, La. — The Kenner Police Department is warning citizens about an ongoing scam.
According to a media release, Kenner PD said that people are calling citizens while impersonating a Kenner PD officer or employee asking for money or gift card payments in order to pay fines for not appearing in court.
The scam claims if you do not send payments, there will be a warrant out for your arrest.
The Kenner Police Department said they never will ask to pay fines over the phone or through a third party, and that if you receive a call of that nature, hang up immediately and do not give out any personal information.
