Jury Duty Scam Reported

If you receive a phone call saying you’ve missed jury duty and you have to pay money via gift cards, DO NOT PAY! Court officials and Sheriff’s Office employees will not threaten you and force you to pay with a gift card for missing jury duty–no matter how convincing they may be. Please don’t throw away your hard-earned money. If you receive a call, hang up and don’t give them any information, because it is very hard to recoup money and your identity.
