Sheriff Warns of Jury Duty Phone Scam

The Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office warns residents about fake calls claiming you have a warrant for missing jury duty. Scammers pretend to be law enforcement, use real-sounding officer names, and may show a real agency number on caller ID. They demand money to avoid arrest and may even plan fake court sessions on Zoom. Law enforcement will never ask for payment by phone. Anyone receiving such a call should hang up, give no personal information, and report it to local law enforcement using a verified number.
