The Posey County Sheriffs Department is warning residents of a scam. It has been reported that people have been receiving calls with someone identifying themselves as a deputy with the Posey County Sheriffs office. The caller is telling the recipients that they have failed to appear for jury duty. The scammer then asks the recipients to go to a kiosk and get money to pay for their warrant. Again the sheriffs office notes that this is a scam and not to follow the instructions.
