Jury duty scam hits Door County
The Door County Sheriff’s Department is warning you that scammers are using a different tactic to get money from you. Earlier this week, the department alerted the community that several residents had received a call about missing jury duty. The caller attempted to scare people by saying a warrant was taken against them. To make it more believable, the scammers used the names of actual Door County Sheriff’s deputies to get their point across. The department reiterated that even if there is a warrant, they will never call citizens directly in an attempt to collect money from them. Their advice? Block the number and do not call them back. If you are still concerned, contact the Door County Sheriff’s dispatch center and ask to speak to the deputy. The department had a similar warning on July 1st when scammers were using the names of current and retired deputies.
