Local law enforcement agencies are urging residents to be vigilant following reports of a new scam targeting community members. Scammers are impersonating law enforcement officers, claiming that individuals have missed jury duty and threatening arrest unless immediate payment is made.
Hang up if you receive a call from someone claiming to be a law enforcement officer demanding payment.
Contact your local law enforcement agency directly using official phone numbers to verify any claims.
If you believe you have been targeted, report the incident to your local law enforcement department and the Federal Trade Commission.
