🚨 JURY DUTY SCAM REMINDER

The Williamson County Sheriff’s Office has received several reports of scams involving individuals pretending to be law enforcement officers, court officials or federal agents.

⚠️ These scams are becoming increasingly sophisticated.

Scammers may claim that you:

• Failed to appear for jury duty or a grand jury subpoena
• Have an active warrant for your arrest
• Are under investigation by law enforcement or a federal agency
• Have bank accounts or other assets that are about to be seized

They may even send official-looking arrest warrants, subpoenas or seizure documents containing government seals, case numbers, names of real judges or law enforcement officers, and other information designed to make the documents appear legitimate.

They may also manipulate caller ID so the call appears to come from a legitimate law enforcement agency or government office.

REMEMBER:

đźš« Law enforcement will not call and demand money to keep you from being arrested.

đźš« Courts and law enforcement will not require you to pay a fine using gift cards, cryptocurrency, payment apps or wire transfers.

đźš« An officer or federal agent will not ask for your banking information in exchange for stopping an arrest or seizure of your accounts.

đźš« Do not assume a call or document is legitimate simply because the caller knows personal information about you, uses the name of a real officer or judge, or sends paperwork that looks official.

âś… If you receive one of these calls, STOP. HANG UP. VERIFY.

Do not provide personal or financial information. Do not send money. Do not use the phone number or website provided by the caller. Instead, independently locate the official phone number for the agency or court and contact them directly.

Please share this warning with your family and friends. These scammers rely on fear, urgency and convincing details to keep victims from stopping long enough to verify the story.

When someone tells you that you must pay immediately or be arrested, that should be a major red flag.
