Advisory of Scam Targeting Potential Jurors

Please see the advisory below from The Clerk of the Court, Sharon Bock. 

Beware of Scam Targeting Potential Jurors

Callers Attempt to Solicit Personal Information in Possible ID Theft Scheme

I urge Palm Beach County residents to beware of scammers attempting to solicit personal information from potential jurors. In the scam, a caller falsely identifies herself as a clerk employee and says the individual has missed jury duty. The caller asks for personal information, such as a Social Security number, to verify if the individual is eligible for a non-existent new jury program.

It is critical that our citizens understand:

• You will never receive an unsolicited call from the Clerk’s Jury Office about jury duty.
• Our staff will never ask for a juror’s Social Security number.

As your Clerk, it is my duty to not only protect public funds and records, but to also protect unsuspecting citizens from unscrupulous individuals. Please read my news alert and avoid becoming the next victim.

Sharon R. Bock, Esq.
Clerk & Comptroller, Palm Beach County
