Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office
Jury Duty Scam
The Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office has been receiving notifications of an ongoing scam regarding missed jury duty. These calls are coming from someone claiming to be “Sgt. Terry” and demanding payment of a $1500 fine. The Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office will not call you to discuss jury duty nor will we demand payments of any kind over the phone.
THIS IS A SCAM.Never send money to anyone unless you are absolutely certain of who it is. When in doubt, hang up and call whatever agency/company they are claiming to represent, using the phone number on their official website.
