The Tennessee Attorney General’s Office is warning consumers about two recently reported government imposter scams. In the jury duty scam, scammers may pose as court officials or law enforcement officers claiming that the person has missed jury duty and is now subject to fines or arrest unless a fee is paid immediately. In the customs and border patrol scam, the caller may say that illegal items such as drugs were shipped in a person's name and have been intercepted, or that there is a warrant out for the person's arrest. More information on what to do and what agencies to contact if targeted by scammers can be found on the attorney general's website.
