🚨SCAM ALERT: FEDERAL JURY DUTY OR WARRANT CALLS🚨
Scammers are calling people and claiming they missed federal jury duty, are in contempt of court, or have an active warrant. They may threaten immediate arrest unless a “bond,” fine, or fee is paid right away.
These callers can sound calm, professional, and convincing. They may also use the names of real deputies, judges, or government agencies to make the call seem legitimate.
Remember:
✅ Courts and law enforcement do not demand payment over the phone to avoid arrest.
✅ You will not be required to stay on the line or threatened with arrest for hanging up.
✅ Never provide personal, banking, or payment information to an unsolicited caller.
✅ Legitimate agencies will not require payment by gift card, cryptocurrency, payment app, or cash deposit.
Hang up and verify the claim by contacting the court or law enforcement agency directly using an official phone number you locate yourself.
Please share this warning and help protect others from becoming a victim.
