The “missed jury duty” scam is happening a lot right now!

We will not call you requesting money for missed jury duty or any type of warrant. If it feels like a scam, it is. Don’t hesitate to call us to confirm prior to sending any of your hard earned funds to them!

It’s common for them to say they are local law enforcement and you will be arrested if you don’t pay. Again, WE WILL NOT REQUEST MONEY OVER THE PHONE TO CLEAR AN ARREST WARRANT OF ANY TYPE.

Stay safe Franklin County!
