Texarkana Police Warn Residents About Cookie Dough Door-to-Door Scam

The Texarkana Arkansas Police Department is asking residents to be on alert after receiving reports of people going door-to-door claiming to sell cookie dough.

According to police, the sales are not connected to any verified fundraiser, school, church, or organization, and several residents have reported suspicious behavior associated with the visits. Not good.

Texarkana Police Say Sales Are Not Connected to a Legitimate Fundraiser

TAPD wants the public to know these door-to-door sales are not part of any verified fundraising effort. While many local schools, churches, and community organizations conduct legitimate fundraisers throughout the year, police say these reports involve individuals who are not affiliated with any known organization.

Trust Your Instincts

If someone comes to your door and something doesn't seem right, trust your instincts. Police recommend not giving out money or personal information to anyone you're unsure about.

If you notice suspicious activity in your neighborhood, contact the Texarkana Arkansas Police Department so officers can check the area and investigate.

Stay Alert and Help Protect Your Neighbors

Residents are encouraged to stay aware, look out for their neighbors, and report anything unusual. A quick phone call could help prevent someone else from becoming a victim.
