Sheriff’s Office warns of new scam

Oconee Sheriff’s Office warns the public of a new scam. Someone who claimed to be calling on behalf of the court tried to bilk a Westminster senior citizen out of money. The caller claimed the senior citizen was being fined for not appearing for jury duty. And, if the senior citizen bought a green dot card and put money on the card and sent it in the fine would be forgiven. The public should know there’s a scammer out there, and he may be local.
