Full Notification

The Middlesex County Sheriff’s Office is advising our residents and community to be aware of a continuing phone scam that is targeting our area.

In the most recent scam calls, the caller (sometimes via voice messages) uses the Middlesex County Sheriff’s Office information and identify himself or herself as an employee with our agency.

The caller claims the resident has an outstanding federal warrant for non-appearance for jury duty and demands immediate payment using a prepaid credit card. The caller requests the prepaid credit card information over the phone and arranges to meet the resident at the Middlesex County Sheriff’s Office and provides our physical address of 701 Livingston Ave, New Brunswick, NJ 08901

The Middlesex County Sheriff’s Office will never solicit methods of payment and/or personal identifiers over the phone. Residents should never give their personal or financial information over the phone and should not agree to meet anyone to provide prepaid credit card information.
