🚨 Scam Alert!!

08/28/2026

Temperatures in Louisiana are rising, and it can be dangerous without the proper safety plan. Older adults are at greater risk for heat-related illness, especially during periods of extreme heat.
Stay cool by spending time in air-conditioned spaces, drinking water throughout the day and keep an eye on weather forecasts and heat advisories, so you know when extreme temperatures are coming! You can sign up for emergency alerts on the Louisiana Department of Health website or by following this link: http://spr.ly/6186B1xHyj

Welcome to Fraud Watch Friday, your weekly shield against scams of all kinds. This week, we're highlighting a troubling trend: Fraud Victims, Revictimized. After someone loses money to a scam, criminals often target them again by posing as recovery experts, government agencies, law enforcement or legal professionals who promise to get their money back for a fee.

Remember: If someone guarantees they can recover your lost funds or asks for upfront payment to help, it's likely another scam. Learn the warning signs and protect yourself from becoming a victim twice.
