Sheriff’s Offices Warning Residents Of Jury Duty Scam

(WTOL-11) – Two northwest Ohio counties are warning residents about a new jury duty money scam.

The sheriff’s offices in both Wood and Lucas Counties say people have been getting phone calls and text messages about fake warrants regarding missed jury duty.

Scammers pretend to be law enforcement officers and make demands for payments.

Neither the Lucas County Sheriff’s Office nor Wood County will call about jury duty or demand money.
