SUFFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — The Suffolk Virginia Sheriff’s Office is warning of a jury scam in the area, deputies said.
Residents are being targeted through phone calls for failing to show up to jury duty.
A common juror scam consists of scammers saying they were selected for jury duty and demand that they send a form with sensitive information, such as Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, date of birth and mother’s maiden name.
These scammers will ask the victim to come to the office. Any phone contact by real courts officials will not include requests for Social Security numbers, credit card information, or any other sensitive information.
