Advisory

Clayton County Citizens Beware of Jury Duty/Bonding Scam. SHERIFF LEVON ALLEN

SHERIFF LEVON ALLEN has been made aware of multiple reports regarding a jury duty scam and is taking proactive measures to safeguard and educate the residents of Clayton County against potential fraudulent activities.

Scammers are also posing as Bonding Agents, Federal Agents, and Deputy Sheriffs, saying you must pay to have warrants removed or pay to get someone out of Jail.

It's important to note that the Clayton County Sheriff's Office will NEVER solicit payments over the phone, nor will we request payments through platforms such as CashApp, Zelle, GooglePay, Apple Pay, Venmo, or gift cards. We will never tell you to go to Walgreens or CVS for a money order.

If you have a loved one in custody, please visit the SHERIFF'S OFFICE directly at 9157 Tara Blvd Jonesboro, GA 30236, or contact the bonding company of your choice. Under no circumstances should you engage in business transactions or provide personal information over the phone.

Perpetrators are posing as employees of the Sheriff's Office, utilizing spoofed Sheriff's Office numbers to deceive individuals into making payments while masquerading as SHERIFF'S OFFICE personnel.

Should you receive a call claiming that you have missed jury duty and requesting payment, it is advised to terminate the call and verify it by contacting the Clayton County Sheriff's Office at 770-477-4479.
