Lincoln County Officials Warn of Jury Duty Scam

Lincoln County Circuit Clerk Lisa Simmons and the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office are alerting residents about a jury duty scam. Scammers pose as law enforcement or court officials, claiming you missed jury duty and face a warrant unless you pay via prepaid cards or electronic transfers. They use fear tactics to pressure victims into staying on the phone. Remember, court officials never demand payment or threaten arrest. Report suspicious calls to the Sheriff’s Office at 931-433-9821.
