Description
Your phone rings, you pick it up, and the person on the other line tells you that you’ve missed jury duty. They say if you don’t fork over $1,500 on the spot, you’ll be arrested. What do you do? Hopefully, hang up.
It’s a scam that has been used in the United States for over a decade, but now, District Attorney Jason Williams says people across the area are getting dialed up, and you don’t want to fall for it.
Amelia Strahan went to the experts and tells WWL Louisiana what to do if your phone rings with one of these con artists on the other end.
