The Raleigh County Sheriff’s Office is again investigating complaints of individuals being contacted and told they had missed jury duty. Those perpetrating this fraud are alleging to be Deputies with the Raleigh County Sheriff’s Office and requesting the victims to obtain Green Dot or other money cards to pay a “fine”. Please be reminded that the Raleigh County Sheriff’s Office does not now, nor has it ever, contacted people regarding jury duty- this is a scam. Similarly, the Raleigh County Sheriff’s Office would NOT require payment for ANYTHING via Green Dot or similar card over the telephone. If individuals have questions or concerns regarding jury duty they may contact the Raleigh County Circuit Clerk’s Office at 304-255-9119.
