🚨The "Missed Jury Duty" Scam Is Hitting Our Area!

Please share this with your family, friends, and neighbors. A quick heads-up from you could save someone a lot of money and heartache!

The Scioto County Sheriff's Office is warning about phone scammers posing as deputies, U.S. Marshals, or court officials. The story is always the same: you missed jury duty, there's a warrant out, and you can make it go away by paying a fine right now.

It's a lie. Real courts and law enforcement will never call demanding payment, and they will never ask for gift cards, Venmo, Zelle, a wire, or crypto. Warrants are served in person, not settled over the phone.

If you get one of these calls, hang up. Don't argue, don't confirm any personal details, and never send money. Then verify with your local Clerk of Courts:

If you receive a call like this, you can verify with your local clerk of courts:

Scioto County, OH: 740-355-8218
Boyd County, KY: 606-739-4131
Greenup County, KY: 606-473-9869
Cabell County, WV: 304-526-8622

Not sure about your accounts? You can always call us at 800-488-0746. We're happy to help you sort out what's real and what's not.
