Residents warned of jury duty scam — The Hamilton County Courts is warning residents about a jury duty scam that has conned dozens of people out of thousands of dollars. According to the announcement, scammers call residents and tell them they missed jury duty and have to pay a fine. Victims have reportedly lost money through gift cards and mobile payments. If someone gets one of these calls, the court recommends hanging up and calling 317-776-8589. According to the announcement, neither the courts nor the sheriff’s office will call and demand money over the phone. If someone does miss jury duty, the most likely reparation would be rescheduling that service for another time.
