Be aware that a phone scam is being perpetrated on people in Wayne County regarding jury service. The scam works as follows:

1.       You receive a phone call from someone identifying themselves as a court employee advising you that you had been summoned for jury duty on June 12th and since you failed to appear a warrant has been issued for your arrest.

2.       You are then advised that the payment of $300-$400 dollars would serve to dismiss the warrant and serve as a penalty for your failure to appear. You are then provided with details as to how to pay.

THIS IS A SCAM THAT HAS BEEN PERPETRATED IN OTHER COUNTIES.

THERE WAS NO JURY SERVICE CALL FOR JUNE 12^TH.

WARRANTS ARE NOT ISSUED FOR AN ARREST FOR FAILURE TO APPEAR FOR JURY DUTY

DO NOT FORWARD ANY MONEY TO ANYONE AS A RESULT OF THIS CALL.

Please pass this info on to friends and family.
