The Gallatin County Sheriff’s Office has received dozens of reports in recent weeks of a jury duty phone scam making the rounds. The caller claims that the person missed jury duty and that there is a warrant for their arrest, but they can post a fine or bail to take care of it.

If you receive a call like this, hang up immediately. Do not agree to their request of payment. The Sheriff’s Office does not conduct business in this manner. We would never request any kind of payment via the phone.
