The Northampton County Sheriff’s Department has received several reports about a male caller identifying himself as Sergeant Riley of the County’s Sheriff’s Department contacting county residents.

The caller requests that the citizens go to the bank or provide credit card information to satisfy a warrant for failing to appear for jury duty.

The public should be aware that this is a scam. The Northampton County Sheriff’s Department does not call residents and solicit money in lieu of arrest.

Please report any suspicious solicitations to the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s office at 1-800-441-2555 or email them to scams@attorneygeneral.gov.
