Lakeport Police Getting Reports of Phone Scam

The Lakeport Police have received a report that someone is posing as a sergeant from the department in order to commit fraud.  The victim said he received a call and was told there was a warrant out for his arrest by Lakeport Sgt. Victor Rico, and was directed to report to an address with cash.  There is no Officer Victor Rico employed by the PD.  Police have recently received reports of similar types of calls.  Law enforcement never call someone and demand payment of any kind and advises the public not to engage with anyone who does.
