Beware of jury scams taking place in Clarke County. It has come to our attention that residents are receiving fraudulent phone calls claiming that individuals summoned for jury duty have failed to appear for service in Superior or State Court of Clarke County. The scammer tells the victim that he or she can avoid arrest by making a payment, which may include purchasing a pre-paid card, such as a gift card, then giving the card number to the scammer. The court and law enforcement will NEVER demand any type of payment over the phone.
The scammer may sound convincing and use real information about court addresses and real names of law enforcement officers, court officials, and judges to make the scam appear more credible.
If you have received a scam phone call or if you wish to verify whether you have been summoned for jury duty in Clarke County, contact the Jury Clerk at 762-400-6463.
