A recent scam has been reported to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Offices. 

A caller claiming to be the Jefferson County Attorney informs individuals that they have missed either jury duty or a trial and requests payment to cover the fine. The caller is very aggressive and uses the real names of attorneys and judges. When making a confirmation call, the caller also uses the phone number of the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department.These are not calls from the Sheriff’s office.

The Sheriff’s Department and the County Attorney’s Office will never call you and ask for money. Call 641-664-2385 if you have any questions. Please inform others about this scam, to prevent more individuals from being scammed.
