Palm Beach County residents should be aware of scammers attempting to solicit money or personal information from local residents by claiming they have missed jury duty.
In one scam, a caller falsely identifies herself as a clerk employee or law enforcement officer and says the individual has missed jury duty. The caller asks for personal information, such as a Social Security number, to verify if the individual is eligible for a non-existent new jury program.
Another scam involves phone calls or text messages telling recipients that they missed jury duty and now must pay a fine of hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
Our office does not call or text people who have missed jury duty. If you think you may have been the victim of a scam, contact your local law enforcement.
If you have questions about jury duty, please visit jury.mypalmbeachclerk.com or call 561-355-2996.
