Jury Scams
Several Monterey County residents have recently reported receiving a phone call from an individual claiming to be a law enforcement officer asking for payment of a fine because the resident did not appear for jury service. These calls are fraudulent and have no connection to the Monterey County Superior Court. Anyone receiving a phone call from someone demanding payment for failure to appear for jury service should report it immediately as a crime to their local law enforcement agency. Also, please note that Monterey County Superior Court Jury Services personnel do not ask past, current, or prospective jurors for information regarding credit card numbers, bank account information, or Social Security numbers. Please do not provide this type of information to anyone claiming to be associated with Jury Services.
