Another scam has hit central Iowa. Carol Sage, Jasper/Marion County Clerk of Court tells KNIA/KRLS News that area courthouses have been receiving phone calls concerning a jury scam.
People have been receiving phone calls from a so called “Lieutenant” stating they have failed to appear for jury service and if they pay a fine they will not be held in contempt. These scam artists usually ask for money. The clerk’s office has been informing the victims that we would never call and ask for personal information or for money. Anyone that calls and asks for personal information over the phone or for money usually is a scam.
