Sheriff’s Office Warns: No Jury Duty Payments Over Phone | Pittsburgh News
Description
Scammers are calling people pretending to be sheriff’s office deputies, claiming they missed jury duty and have a warrant — demanding $2,000 be paid immediately at an ATM. They even fake case numbers to sound legit, exploiting fear to rush victims into paying. Sheriff Kevin Kraus confirms his office NEVER calls for payments — this is a classic scam. One victim spotted the red flags and reported it, helping authorities track the fraudsters. Bottom line: if you get such a call, hang up. The sheriff’s office will never ask for money over the phone. Stay alert.
