Scam Alert

Scam Alert

From the Bowie County Sheriff's Office:

The Bowie County Sheriff’s Office has received calls from several citizens today saying they were contacted by a person claiming to be “Captain Mark Bowen” from the Bowie County Sheriff’s Office “Warrants and Citations.” “Captain Bowen” claims to be contacting the individual about citations that he is processing.

We assume that if anyone were to play along any further than this, “Captain Bowen” would ask them for some sort of payment. This is a scam! There is no one by the name of Mark Bowen employed by the Bowie County Sheriff’s Office and we never take money over the phone. “Captain Bowen” has been calling from 903-702-3183. Investigators are currently working to track this phone number. This phone number appears as a Marshall, Texas number, but it is most likely being spoofed from somewhere else.
