SCAM ALERT

The Louisiana State Board of Dentistry has learned of scam artists posing as Board office staff calling Louisiana dentists as part of an attempted fraud scheme. The callers identify themselves as Board staff members or investigators and say the licensee is under investigation for drug trafficking by the Board and other entities including local police, the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and/or the FBI, and demand money.

The callers may be “spoofing” the Board’s telephone number to make the calls appear legitimate. Please be advised the Louisiana State Board of Dentistry will NEVER contact licensees demanding money or payment of any form without conducting an official investigation. Additionally, the Board always contacts its licensees in writing regarding any investigation.

If you receive such a call, you should refuse the demand for payment. Do not disclose any personal information (social security numbers, birth dates, credit card numbers, etc.).

If you receive a call and the number appears to be the Board office number, you can submit an online complaint with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) using the FCC Consumer Complaint site. https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us

If the caller states they are with the DEA, you can get more information at https://www.dea.gov/press-releases/2021/03/03/dea-warning-scammers-impersonating-dea-agents-0

Please call the Board office at 225-219-7330 if you have any questions.
