ST. JOHNS COUNTY, Fla. — Imagine answering a call from someone claiming to be a sheriff’s deputy. They say you missed jury duty, there’s a warrant out for your arrest, and unless you pay a fine immediately, you’re going to jail.

It’s terrifying...and it’s fake.

In recent weeks, the Ask Anthony team has received multiple messages from First Coast viewers shaken by a new wave of jury duty scams.

Robin emailed Ask Anthony after she received one of these calls:

"Yesterday I was scammed but didn't lose money but was very close till I decided to hang up the call. I had a phone call yesterday afternoon saying that I was going to be arrested because I missed jury duty and that if I didn't pay I would be arrested. I finally realized it was a scam. I was so shaken up and terrified!"
