Missed Jury Duty Scam
There is a phone scam making its rounds again.
You receive a phone call; the person states they work for the court or the sheriff. They tell you that you have missed jury duty and now you owe money.
They are very convincing. The phone number is a local number. It could even be the number to the Sheriff or one of the Courts.
You should hang up immediately! If you want to verify if you missed jury duty, look up the local Court number and call it.
The court and/or sheriff will NEVER call citizens and tell you that they owe money for missing jury duty. That is a scam. There will never be a demand for payment over the phone for failure to appear for jury duty.
