FAIRBORN — Most people expect the call informing them that they’ve been summoned for jury duty at some point in our adult lives, but they don’t expect it to be a scam.
Fairborn Municipal Court stated that they have recently become aware of a scam that involves a series of text messages informing the recipient that they owe fines to the court for failing to appear for jury duty.
