They say you missed jury duty!
*CAUTION* Increase in Scam phone calls identifiying as any County Sheriff saying you missed jury duty and a bench warrant was issued. They want you to pay a bond over the phone -
NO! That's not how that works.
They get the info off property records to call you, not jury lists.
If you are worried after such a call, call the agency they said they were with and ask them about it. Or, call your local law enforcement and tell them what happened. But DON'T give them any personal or payment information over the phone. If anything happened regarding jury service, you would be notified by mail.
