We want to alert the community about a fraudulent phone call scheme involving individuals claiming to be from the "Sheriff’s Office." Recently, residents have received calls stating that they missed jury duty and must respond immediately or face arrest.
Please be aware that these calls are scams. The scammers often use spoofing technology to make it appear as though the call is coming from the actual Sheriff’s Office phone number.
Important Points to Remember:
- The Sheriff’s Office does not call individuals regarding jury service.
- They will never threaten arrest for missing jury duty over the phone.
- If you receive such a call, do not engage with the caller. Instead, hang up and report the incident to your local law enforcement.
Stay vigilant and protect yourself from these fraudulent activities. If you have any concerns or questions, please reach out to the Sheriff’s Office directly through their official contact number.
