Delray Beach Residents Warned Against Fake Fines and Jury Duty Scam by Local Police

The Delray Beach Police Department (DBPD) has issued a scam warning to its residents, cautioning against a deceit involving imposters who falsely claim you owe fines or have missed jury duty. In a move to forewarn citizens and prevent them from falling victim to this new scheme, the department is steadfast in its stance that authentic DBPD officers will never contact anyone by phone to demand payments or address arrest warrants.

To prevent any such scams from taking root, the DBPD encourages individuals who receive fraudulent calls to simply hang up. They urge people to report the matter directly to local law enforcement. This proactive approach was detailed in a news report filed by

Remember, DBPD will NEVER call you about arrest warrants or fines,” they reiterated. Citizens are reminded to stay vigilant and never give out personal information over the phone to unsolicited callers.
