A scam targeting Yavapai County residents claims callers are from the Sheriff’s Office, saying you’ve missed jury duty and owe thousands in fines—with threats of arrest unless you pay immediately.
A recent call from the number 928-395-2944 was confirmed as fraudulent by the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office.
Authorities stress the Sheriff’s Office never calls to demand payment for warrants or missed jury duty.
If you receive such a call, hang up and contact YCSO directly at 928-771-3260 to verify.
