Bulloch County, GA – Authorities are warning residents about a new phone scam circulating in Bulloch County this week, where callers are pretending to be law enforcement officers. The scammers claim the victim has missed a jury summons and must verify their signature to resolve the issue.
According to the Bulloch County Sheriff’s Office, the scam begins with a convincing call that appears official. Once the caller gains trust, they ask the person to confirm personal details—potentially exposing their identity, passwords, or even financial accounts.
“Do not fall for it,” the department emphasized in a public alert posted Thursday morning. “Law enforcement will never call you about a missed jury summons or ask you to verify personal information over the phone.”
Deputies are urging anyone who receives such a call to hang up immediately and report the incident. Sharing the warning could help prevent others from becoming victims.
Residents are reminded to contact the Bulloch County Sheriff’s Office directly if they have concerns about a legitimate jury duty notice or similar correspondence.
