I received a phone call today from 1-(858) 859-8524. The caller identified himself as Lieutenant David Oneal from the Sheriffs Department. (badge #93214) He said a jury summons was sent to my address in mid-November with a court date scheduled for December 5th. (he stated my correct address) He told me that Nancy Clark (from the downtown courthouse on 220 West Broadway) sent the summons. Since they never received a response from me; I was facing two Class C misdemeanors. (failure to appear and contempt of court) He offered case log numbers for the separate offenses and said bail for each offense is $983. (total: $1966.00) He said credit card and bank information is strictly confidential and prohibited by phone, but he wanted me to walk me through the appropriate bail payment process!! Beware.....

Ongoing scam. Scammers call from a variety of
numbers claiming to be the SD County Sheriff's Office saying
you owe money. Any liability for fees will be sent to you
by US mail only. Ignore and block these calls. Report
them to your local law enforcement. This scam has
been going on for some time.
