Residents of the Mount Pleasant community have recently been targeted by a series of fraudulent phone calls from individuals posing as representatives of local law enforcement or federal agencies. These callers are alleging that the recipients have outstanding arrest warrants due to their failure to appear for jury duty. Authorities are making it clear that these claims are part of a scam and are strongly advising residents not to disclose any personal information during such calls.
In light of these deceptive practices, officials are encouraging anyone who encounters such a call to reach out to their local law enforcement agency to report the incident. It is crucial for community members to remain vigilant and protect their personal information from these scams.
