Authorities investigate raffle tickets scam

Authorities investigate raffle tickets scam
STAFF REPORTS • APRIL 28, 2010
A deaf woman posing as a representative of the Deaf Action Center of Louisiana is selling phony raffle tickets door to door for $5 each, Executive Director David Hylan said.
He's alerted the Caddo sheriff's office of the scam and is passing along information to the agency's white collar crimes division.

After learning of the scam, Hylan sent out e-mails to members of the center's Facebook group warning of the scam and describing her as a short, white woman.

Deputies are working to determine how many tickets were sold. If you were sold or offered a ticket, call deputies at (318) 425-7781.
