Scammers calling Alameda County residents in bid to solicit payment for missed jury duty

Court officials are warning Alameda County residents against a scam involving individuals falsely claiming to be representatives of the Superior Court or law enforcers, targeting their victims in relation to jury duty.

Alameda County Superior Court officials said scammers present themselves as government agents and ask for personal and financial information from residents under the guise of a jury or grand jury service. They will claim that their victims missed their jury duty date and owe the court a fee for the missed appearance.
