The Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office has issued the
following alert on Facebook and Twitter regarding the victimization of Snohomish
County citizens to the “Jury Scam:”
“Yesterday an elderly couple was scammed for $2,460. A
scammer claiming to be associated with our agency called demanding money
because they "failed to show for jury duty." The victims purchased
money packs and called the suspect back to pay the "money owed."
No law enforcement or court personnel will call you to
demand money over the phone. Ever. Please share this message with your loved
ones and our most vulnerable members of our community.”
