🚨 “You missed jury duty. There’s a warrant. Pay now or get arrested.”
It’s a scam. Not a cop.
They spoof numbers, sound official & demand $$ via gift cards or Zelle.
Real law enforcement never asks for money.

Tell your fam. Tell your boomer uncle.

A screenshot from a phone call log. The log shows, over the last two days, two calls marked as "Suspected Spam" and one as "Potential Fraud."

Gee, I wonder what they want...

I do like the fact that my phone warns me now when I have a suspicious call.
