Advisory

**SCAM/FRAUD ALERT** Impersonating TCSO Staff.

Tippecanoe County Sheriff's Office dispatch center has received several calls about being defrauded by alleged staff members of our agency. Victims claim a Lieutenant Lowe and a Lieutenant Frantz are demanding payment for outstanding warrants due to missed court dates. Also, they will tell you about a gag order. This is not true.

You will never be contacted about matters as such mentioned by phone. We do have both of those employees mentioned at our agency. Please do not go out and buy gift cards to pay them. Just hang up on them. They will eventually leave you alone.

We do ask that you report this to FTC.gov or 877-387-4357.

If you are a victim of said fraud please call your local police agency where you live to file a fraud/scam report:

Lafayette Police 765-807-1200
West Lafayette Police 765-775-5200
Purdue Police 765-494-8221
Tippecanoe County Sheriff 765-423-9321


Sincerely,
TCSO Staff.
