Jury Duty Scam Resurfaces in Sterling

The Loudoun County sheriff’s Office is warning residents about a jury duty scam after two Sterling residents lodged complaints Monday.

The two victims reportedly received calls from a caller claiming to be with the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office. In both instances, the caller stated he was a detective and the residents had failed to show up for jury duty.

The first resident, who was contacted Monday, Oct. 20 around 4:30 p.m., did not provide the caller with any money or personal information.

The second resident, who was contacted around 6:25 p.m. later that day, was told a warrant had been issued for their arrest. The resident complied with requests to obtain money cards and provided information to the caller, later realizing the call was a scam.
