(From the McDonald County Sheriff's Office)Recently some of our residents have been received telephone calls saying that they have missed jury duty and that they have to pay a certain amount of money to keep from going to jail.
If you get one of these calls, hang up on the caller immediately and do not provide any of your personal information or make any payments.
Also, remember that McDonald County Courts do not accept payment in the form of gift cards.
Please never give personal information or payment via telephone to anyone who has called you! If you think it could be a legitimate debt you owe, ask for the person's name, number and extension number, then look up the phone number yourself and call them back, don't rely on your caller ID, as telephone numbers can be spoofed.
