The Denton County Sheriff's Office has issued a warning about con artists impersonating their officials to fraudulently demand payments, according to a recent social media post. The scammers reportedly claim to represent the sheriff's department, asserting that residents have outstanding warrants for skipping jury duty and must pay immediately over the phone, per the Denton County Sheriff's Office.
In a clear violation of trust, these deceitful calls have reached a point where the scammers are even dropping the names of current employees of the Denton County Sheriff's Office.
The Denton County Sheriff's Office has clarified, "We have received reports that there are individuals falsely claiming association with the Denton County Sheriff's Office and making fraudulent demands for payments related to purported outstanding warrants for missing jury duty."
