Fraud Alert: Jury Duty Scam

The Marathon County Clerk of Courts Office is alerting the community about a common and reoccurring nationwide telephone scam currently circulating in Marathon County. Several community members have reported receiving phone calls from an individual claiming to be a Lieutenant or an Officer with a local law enforcement agency.

In this scam, scammers are posing as local law enforcement and contacting victims accusing them of failing to appear for jury duty and stating a warrant for their arrest will be issued unless a fine is paid. Payment is often requested in the form of gift cards and the scammer will ask the victim to provide the gift card numbers over the phone.

As a reminder, the Clerk of Courts Office or local law enforcement agencies will never call to solicit funds or collect fines over the phone. Government and legitimate businesses will never require someone to make payment with gift cards.  Additionally, juror summonses are sent through the mail and communication through other mediums should be considered suspicious.

Be aware that scammers may spoof phone numbers of law enforcement or government agencies in an effort to disguise their identity and appear legitimate. If you receive a call of this nature, immediately hang up without providing any information about yourself or making payment. Then, report the call to your local law enforcement agency only if you make payment to a scammer, or believe that your identity has been stolen. Never use a phone number provided to you from the caller to verify the credibility.  Instead, look up the phone number of the government office or business that the caller claims to be from using a credible source such as a phone book, an internet search, or a legitimate government or business website.
