Bucks County DA warns of fake jury-duty warrant phone scam

The Bucks County District Attorney’s Office warns of an ongoing phone scam in which callers falsely claim a resident has an active arrest warrant for failing to report for jury duty and demand immediate payment to avoid arrest. Officials emphasize that jury-duty notifications are mailed, not delivered via aggressive calls, and scammers often request payment by gift cards, cryptocurrency, prepaid cards or apps like Venmo or Zelle while using spoofed numbers or official-looking documents. If you receive such a call, do not provide personal or financial information — hang up, verify contacts using the court or DA’s official number, and report the call to local police.
