LA County Superior Court Warns Against Recent Jury Duty Scam

How it works

You receive an unsolicited phone call, email, or text message claiming you failed to show up for jury duty. The caller says you have an outstanding arrest warrant and threaten legal consequences. They then ask you to pay a fine or provide personal information to resolve the matter.

Red flags to watch for

• Unsolicited call, email, or text about jury duty
• Caller threatens arrest or legal action
• Demands immediate payment or personal data
• Real courts do not contact jurors this way

What to do

Do not call the number in the message or provide any information. Hang up immediately. If you think you may have a real jury duty issue, go to the official county court website or call the court directly using a number you look up yourself. Do not use contact information from the suspicious message.
