Beware of Scams

The Josephine County Circuit Court is aware of scams targeting residents of Josephine County.

The scams vary. Generally, the caller identifies himself as a Deputy Sheriff calling on behalf of Sheriff Dave Daniel or as a court employee, claims you failed to appear for jury duty, failed to address a warrant, or failed to comply with a subpoena and demands immediate payment to recall the warrant. The scammer has spoofed the Circuit Court phone number, so the caller ID reads 541-476-2309.

Please be aware that if you miss jury service, the court will never ask law enforcement to collect a fine from you. Additionally, law enforcement will not call a person on the telephone regarding a warrant out for arrest. The court will also not contact individuals by telephone to collect fines and fees. All collections are done by correspondence. If you receive a telephone call asking for payment of a fine or to address a warrant, hang up and do not provide email information to the caller. You may choose to report the call to the Sheriff’s Office at 541-474-5123.
