Clerk public service announcement on jury duty scam
What the county recorded
This item is not from the published agenda
It is a stretch of the recording that this archive identified as a separate matter — a call to order, a recess, or something taken up that the agenda does not list. There is no official title, no staff recommendation and no disposition, because the county never recorded one. Everything below is inferred.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I just wanna uh provide a public service announcement. We had two customers come to um my office last week and they were scammed. Um very aggressive individuals call and say that they have um did not show up to jury service and that there's a warrant out for their arrest and they can pay a fine in lieu of being arrested and um They must be very aggressive and convincing because the individuals are instructed to
go and purchase gift cards, scratch off, give them the code in the back the gift card.
And um one customer was out two thousand dollars, another customer was out like fifteen hundred dollars. And it's very heartbreaking when you see them. They're just good people that got scammed by an aggressive caller. Um we've put the information also on the front page of our website, but I thought since I'm here and we're in the public realm that I would also make those comments. So thank you.
