If you get a call from someone claiming to be from the Rockland Sheriff’s Department or any other local police agency, and telling you that you need to pay them using an app because you skipped jury duty, don’t fall for it…it’s a scam. Rockland Sheriff Lou Falco says that’s not the way it works…
Falco says several people have reported similar calls, in which the scammer claims to be a member of a local police department and asks you to make a payment using mobile apps on your phone or be thrown in jail.
