‘Pretty Convincing’: Oregon DA Warns of Jury Duty Scam Calls
- On June 28, 2025, the Clackamas County District Attorney's Office warned of a jury duty scam where callers demand payments to avoid arrest or fines.
- The warnings arose due to scammers contacting people claiming missed jury duty, threatening arrest or fines while sometimes knowing full personal details.
- District Attorney John Wentworth stressed scammers pose as court or law enforcement officials, demanding immediate payment or personal information to steal money.
- Wentworth emphasized that genuine court representatives do not contact individuals to request urgent payment or to intimidate them with immediate arrest over matters related to jury duty.
- The office vows to prosecute scammers aggressively, while Oregon agencies remind the public to ignore unsolicited payment demands and verify official contacts.
