We’ve received reports of an ongoing phone scam in which callers are impersonating Sheriff’s Officers, demanding payment for service of process and/or “missed jury duty”.
The Union County Sheriff’s Office will never call and demand payment over the phone for any reason, not for service of process, jury duty, gift card, wire transfer or cryptocurrency.
If you get a call like this, hang up. Don’t give out personal or financial information. If you want to verify someone as a UCSO officer, call the UCSO directly at 908-527-4450.
Please share this with friends and family, especially anyone who may be a target for this kind of call. If you believe you’ve been contacted by a scammer, report it to the Union County Sheriff’s Office or your local police department’s non-emergency line.
