Phone Scam In Platteville Claims Missed Jury Duty

Platteville police are warning the public of a new scam.  The department reports there’s been several reports of citizens receiving phone calls and emails saying there’s a warrant for their arrest because they missed jury duty. The caller has claimed to be Lt. Adam Reese and a sergeant with the Grant County Sheriffs Office. However, the department states the caller is not a law enforcement officer and the information is illegitimate. If you have received a call or email like this, report it to your local law enforcement agency.
