Scammers Strike Again - Beware!

 Miami County residents have again become a target for a telephone scam. 

The caller states that they are a representative from our office, in the most recent case, Captain Andrew Roush, and that the individual has had a warrant for missing jury duty. The caller states that you can pay the bond over the phone or risk going to jail. 

They will use different tactics to scare you into paying over the phone or other ways.  Please do not give into their tactics.

If you receive this call, hang up immediately.  If you have become a victim of the scam and have lost money, you can report this to your local jurisdiction.
