Bucks County DA warns of fake jury duty warrant phone scam
Bucks County officials warn of a phone scam where callers impersonate court or law enforcement, claim a missed jury duty warrant, and demand immediate payment.
The Bucks County District Attorney’s Office warns residents about an ongoing phone scam in which callers falsely claim the recipient has an active arrest warrant for failing to report for jury duty and demand immediate payment to avoid arrest. Scammers often request payment via gift cards, cryptocurrency, prepaid debit cards, or apps like Venmo or Zelle, use caller ID spoofing, and may send official-looking documents; officials advise not to provide personal or financial information, hang up, verify contacts independently using official numbers, and report such calls to local police.
