𝗦𝗖𝗔𝗠 𝗔𝗟𝗘𝗥𝗧: Warrant & Jury Duty Scams
We remind you that TCSO does not call and demand money over the phone to pay for warrants, fines, or missed jury duty. We also do not ask for payment via gift cards, Green Dot cards, or payment apps such as Zelle or CashApp.
Beware of fraudsters impersonating law enforcement via calls or texts. They might claim you have an arrest warrant or missed jury duty and suggest a fine can prevent charges. They might also target relatives of detainees or those being supervised on probation, asking for money. Remember, genuine law enforcement will never contact you asking for payment.
Protect yourself: hang up or delete the message if you receive such calls or texts. Stay vigilant and informed to avoid falling victim to these scams.
