🚨 SCAM ALERT – JURY DUTY PHONE SCAM RESURFACING 🚨

The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office has been made aware that a scam is circulating again involving individuals calling from a blocked number or “No Caller ID” and posing as a member of Sheriff Tedd Frazier’s office. The caller claims the individual has missed jury duty.

⚠️ PLEASE BE ADVISED:
The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office will NOT call you to:

* Notify you that you have missed jury duty.
* Tell you that you have an active warrant and demand payment over the phone.
* Advise you that fines are due and request payment over the phone.

📵 If you receive one of these calls, HANG UP! Do not send money, provide financial information, or disclose personal identifying information to the caller.

Scammers often use fear and intimidation to pressure people into acting quickly. Stay vigilant, ask questions, and never let anyone pressure you into making a payment over the phone.

If something doesn’t feel right, trust your instincts and verify the information through an official source.

Please share this information to help protect our friends, family members, and neighbors from falling victim to these scams.
