“Personnel with the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office fell for an online scheme that cost the agency more than $1.1 million, according to an internal audit made public recently.“
“The same review said employees with the parish jail committed fraud totaling more than $210,000.“
“According to the audit, JPSO received a change request for the agency’s online banking information for its sales tax revenue account. Its accounting department and tax collector bureau executive staff, not realizing the request was a bogus “phishing” scheme, made the change. As a result, wire transfers totaling $1,106,085 were made from the tax receipts fund to a bank account outside the sheriff’s office. “
