Madison County Sheriff, John Mehr, and the Circuit Court Clerk’s office are
warning citizens of a new telephone scam in reference to failure to appear for
jury duty. The scammers are calling and advising the citizens that they have
criminal charges filed against them. The scammer is asking them to appear at
a certain location to give the scammer several thousand dollars. The scammer
also advises that if they can’t appear at that location, they are to make a zoom
call to the scammer to give them their credit card number.
The Madison County Sheriff’s Office and the Circuit Court Clerk’s Office do
not make threatening telephone calls or zoom calls requesting money for jury
duty.
Sheriff Mehr wants you to be alert of this scam and protect your money.
