We have received multiple calls regarding missed jury duty. Both callers stated they were contacted by an unknown male who claimed to be with the New Kent Sheriff’s Office and possibly the “Civil Court League.”
According to the callers, the unknown male advised them that they had missed jury duty and claimed that their signatures were on a summons. One caller stated she was instructed to come to our office to complete a handwriting exam. Both callers stated they were not asked to provide payment or personal information.
This appears to be consistent with a common jury duty scam. In these scams, callers may claim to be from a law enforcement agency, court, or government office and tell victims they missed jury duty, failed to appear in court, or have an active warrant. The caller may use pressure, threats of arrest, or official-sounding language to make the situation seem urgent. In some cases, scammers may eventually ask for money, gift cards, cryptocurrency, banking information, or personal identifying information.
The New Kent County Sheriff’s Office will not call and demand payment over the phone, request gift cards or cryptocurrency, or threaten immediate arrest for missed jury duty. Anyone who receives a suspicious call should not provide personal information, should not make any payments, and should not follow instructions from the caller without first verifying the information.
If you receive a call like this, hang up and contact the New Kent County Sheriff’s Office directly at 804-966-9500 or contact the appropriate court using a verified phone number. Do not rely on a phone number provided by the caller.
