The Door County Sheriff’s Office is warning you about a phone scam circulating in the area regarding missed jury duty. The scammers identify as local law enforcement and state that you missed Jury duty and must pay money immediately. Chief Deputy Pat McCarty says The Door County Sheriff’s Office would never call you asking for money.
McCarty says education about scams is vital because once the money is gone, it is hard to retrieve it, and prosecution of the scammer is difficult. If you have fallen victim to this scam, please contact the Door County Sheriff’s Office or your local law enforcement agency to report the incident.
