TItus County Sheriff Issues Scam Alert

The Titus County Sheriff’s Office has received several reports of a person phoning Mount Pleasant Area Businesses passing themselves off as a representative of the Sheriff’s Office. They attempt to extort money from the recipients by telling them they missed one or more jury duty notices and must purchase some sort of a voucher to reconcile the trouble. One or more of these calls originated from a 903 area code with a 541 prefix. Several numbers have been used.
