Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office warns of jury duty scam impersonating deputies for payment.
The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office alerts residents to a jury duty scam where callers impersonate deputies, threatening arrest for missed jury duty unless payment is made. Scammers spoof official phone numbers and use real employee names but provide false badge numbers. The Sheriff's Office does not request payments or sensitive information over the phone. If contacted, do not provide money; instead, hang up and verify by calling 985-748-3334 or 985-748-3328.
