WCSO warns public of Jury Scam

Williamson County Sherrif

The Williamson County Sheriff’s Office is alerting county residents about a new jury duty scam. The WCSO is investigating at least five reports of the scam in the last few days.

A man is making telephone calls to residents claiming to be Detective Phillips from the Williams (he says Williams) County Sheriff’s Office criminal investigation division. He leaves voice mail messages telling residents to call him back on his direct line. He says they have not reported for jury duty and will be arrested unless they buy a prepaid card and load it with money.

These calls are not coming from the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office. The WCSO never calls anyone and asks for money for missing jury duty. If you receive a phone call that you believe is a jury duty scam, report it to the WCSO at 615-790-5550,
