Another local phone scam-

Worcester County Sheriff's Office

Phone scam

Sheriff Crisafulli is warning residents about a recent phone scam from someone falsely representing themselves as a member of our Worcester County Sheriff’s Office command staff. The scammer is informing victims that they have missed Federal Jury Duty and must pay a fine using various methods, such as gift cards. The Worcester County Sheriff's Office will never call to advise you of missing jury duty and to avoid going to jail you must pay the fine and then solicit payments for such over the phone. We strongly advise against sending gift cards to anyone who claims that you owe them money under any circumstances.
