Lacy Lakeview Fraud Alert: Woman Claims to Work for Texas Police

LACY LAKEVIEW, Texas – The Lacy Lakeview PD (LLPD) is warning citizens about a scam in which a woman is posing as a police officer and asking questions about a resident’s home.

On Monday, the LLPD announced on Facebook that a resident received a scam call from a person nicknamed “Ashley.”

Police have confirmed that they do not work there. They also urge anyone who receives such a call to hang up immediately, pointing out that police have no reason to contact residents about their homes.

The scammer provided the phone number 254-723-3543, a different number than the official LLPD office number, which is 254-799-2479. Police advise residents to always verify who they are speaking to before giving out personal information.
