Posted
Kent County Levy Court on Tuesday issued a warning about a phone scam designed to steal money via $900 money orders. Kent County Sheriff Brian Lewis said that, since Thursday, he’s gotten four reports from residents that they’d received calls from his office, indicating that “they had to pay a fine for not going to jury duty and would be arrested if they did not pay the fine.”
- I guess it’s a good thing I never answer my phone. I love caller ID. — Ellen Arrington Dillow
- I can’t believe people still fall for this crap. Don’t answer the phone! Let the voicemail pick up. That rids 98% of scammers. — Bob Hice
