The Faulkner County Sheriff’s Office is warning residents to be on alert after receiving multiple reports of scam phone calls claiming victims missed jury duty and now have warrants for their arrest.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, scammers are even using the names of real deputies in an attempt to make the calls sound legitimate. Officials stress that the Sheriff’s Office will never contact individuals by phone to demand money, personal information, or payment through Venmo, Cash App, gift cards, or other services.
Residents who receive suspicious calls are urged not to provide any personal or financial information. Anyone concerned about a call can contact the Faulkner County Sheriff’s Office at 501-450-4914 or the non-emergency number 501-328-5906.
Officials also encourage residents to warn friends and family, especially seniors, as scam activity often increases this time of year.
