Hatboro Police Warn Residents of Fake Jury-Duty Calls Demanding Payment
Scammers posing as “Sgt. Gilbert” are calling residents, claiming they missed jury duty and demanding payment; Hatboro Police say this is a fraud and will never request money by phone.
The Hatboro Police Department warns of a scam in which callers identify themselves as “Sgt. Gilbert,” falsely state recipients missed jury duty, and demand payment to avoid arrest. The department confirms it has no officer by that name and will never call to demand payment; residents should hang up, not provide personal or financial information, and report the call to Hatboro Police. Officials urge vigilance and offer to answer concerns or questions to help keep the community safe.
