The Florence Police Department has issued a cautionary alert to the community regarding a notable rise in scam reports. Individuals posing as law enforcement officials are making phone calls to residents, falsely asserting that there are warrants for their arrest due to alleged failures to attend federal jury duty. These scammers are demanding payment over the phone, creating a sense of urgency and fear among their targets.
Authorities are strongly advising residents to remain vigilant and not to succumb to these fraudulent tactics. If you receive such a call, it is crucial to report the incident to your local law enforcement agency to help combat this growing issue. The police emphasize the importance of community awareness in preventing these scams from succeeding.
