There is a new scam going around with a man saying he is Lt. Mark Richardson with the Lamar County Sheriff’s Office, and he needs you to call him at 903-708-5405 or 903-315-0568 about an important matter. The Lamar County Sheriff’s Office does not have an officer named Richardson. Do not give any personal information over the phone and hang up. If you have any questions, contact the sheriff’s office at 903-737-2400.
