Beaver County Sheriff’s Office Warns of Phone Scam

The Sheriff’s Office of Beaver County is warning residents of a jury duty phone scam.  The office reported that a woman in Montgomery county received a phone call stating that she missed jury duty and needed to contact the Beaver County Sheriff’s Office or face arrest.  The woman called back the number that was left to her in a voicemail, and she was contacted again from a different number.  The Sheriff’s Office wants residents to know that they should call back any number claiming to be law enforcement to verify that it is in fact a law enforcement agency.  Phone scammers have been known in the past to clone phone numbers to appear legitimate when they show up on caller ID.
