Jury duty phone scam surfaces in Graves County

A phone scam ooncerning jury duty is making its way through Graves County again.

The Graves County Sheriff's Office said Thursday scammers are calling local residents and posing as a deputy, requesting payment to "take care" of a warrant that has been issued for their arrest due to missing jury duty.

Law enforcement will never ask for payment over the phone to take care of a warrant or ask you to send money through a crypto currency kiosk. If you receive one of these calls, hang up immediately.
