Scam Alert: Calls Claiming Missed Jury Duty or Warrant
Scammers are calling residents claiming missed jury duty or an outstanding warrant and pressuring immediate payment by gift card, cryptocurrency, wire transfer or other unusual methods — hang up and contact police.
Scammers have been calling residents saying they missed jury duty or that a warrant was issued, then demanding immediate payment to avoid arrest and asking for gift cards, cryptocurrency, wire transfers, or other unconventional payment methods. Legitimate courts and law enforcement will never call and demand immediate payment or ask for those types of payments. If you get a call like this, hang up, do not give personal or financial information, and contact the Lower Southampton Township Police Department or the Bucks County Radio Room.
