Description of the Scam - In this scam, a pharmacy receives a phone call from someone who claims to represent the Louisiana Board of Pharmacy. The caller ID shows a Board of Pharmacy telephone number or NABP’s official telephone number, which bad actors have spoofed to appear legitimate. The caller then attempts to solicit information from pharmacy staff, including information that may constitute personally identifiable information (PII). Caller ID spoofing is a technique used by scammers to make an incoming call appear to originate from a trusted or official source. A familiar phone number on caller ID does not confirm the identity of the caller.
Continuing Office Closure for Hurricane / Tropical Storm Isaac
Tuesday, August 28 through Thursday, August 30, 2012Due to the continuing conditions posed by the slow movement of Hurricane / Tropical Storm Isaac, La. Commissioner of Administration Paul Rainwater has ordered the continuing closure of all state offices in several parishes located within the storm's projected path, including East Baton Rouge Parish. The closure notice is effective for Tuesday, August 28 through Thursday, August 30, 2012. This closure notice is applicable to the Board of Pharmacy office and all of its employees regardless of their location.
At this time, we anticipate re-opening the Board office at our usual time on Friday, August 31. However, Board employees and clients should monitor the Board's website as well as local news media for any new information that would indicate a potential extension of the closure order.
For the Board:
Malcolm J Broussard
Executive Director
