These scams have targeted local veterinarians. The caller may call the veterinary office phone saying they are with the sheriffs department and have a warrant out for their arrest. The callers have very elaborate scripts and may have personal information or details that makes their call seem credible.
Be aware that Missouri courts do not require anyone to provide any confidential information via telephone call or e-mail. Most contact between a Missouri court and a potential juror will be through postal mail. Reach out to local law enforcement directly if you are contacted about jury duty and have concerns.
