Scam
SCAM: Reposting from Andrea Novak "Hope it's ok to post. Be aware of phone scam This afternoon I received a call from a private number. I ignored it the first time and then answered the second time. This caller had my first and last name, acknowledged himself as Sergeant Eric H and badge number. He was calling to let me know that I missed my juror duty summons and that the judge wanted me contacted and that I could be confined, pay a fine and do community service. After a few minutes of the caller giving me information (he knew my address) and started telling me what I need to do and saying I need to go to the department today and what charges I could receive. I asked for an address for the department I am supposed to go too, they gave the HPD headquarters address. I stopped giving information and asked for a number I can call to confirm this, as I think this is a scam and I am hanging up. When I goggled the number it goes to a rehab office. I was worried what if this is true, so I called the non emergency line for Hpd. He confirmed there is a scam that has been going on for five years, they call people saying you missed juror duty and will be fined. They are trying to get people to pay the fine and get money over the phone. Please warn your family and friends if they receive a phone call like this hang up and don't give any money. I hung up the phone before the caller could even ask for money. I was lucky but I know others aren't and will fall for this." If you encounter this scam, contact HPD (Honolulu Police Department) at 911 non-emergency.
