SCAM ALERT - We have received several calls reporting that police impersonators are using the name Captain Jonathan Reed and claiming they have warrants for failure to appear for jury duty. What's different this time is that one person said the voice sounded very similar to Capt. Reed, so scammers might be using AI to mimic the real person's voice now. Always remember, a real deputy will never call and ask for money over the phone. Just hang up even if they pressure you into staying on the phone. #YCSONews #ScamAlert
