Beware of jury duty phone scams! The community is urged to be vigilant regarding an active telephone impersonation scam. These scams typically occur in the form of a phone call, where an individual impersonates someone from the local sheriff’s office or court and requests money due to a missed jury summons.
Note that law enforcement or courts will never reach out by phone to demand money for a missed jury summons, and these should be ignored. Correspondence from court jury offices regarding a missed summons will arrive in the form of an official legal document in the mail, titled “Failure to Appear Notice”.
If you receive a suspicious call from someone alleging to be a police officer, please report the information to your local sheriff’s department and notify the Colorado State Attorney General’s Office of the activity by visiting their Stop Fraud Colorado website. Reports of fraud or scams may also be reported to the Federal Trade Commission.
To check whether you received a jury summons, please contact your county jury commissioner https://www.coloradojudicial.gov/jury/jury-commissioners-county
