SALT LAKE CITY â The Utah Supreme Court is warning people across the state to be on the lookout for a sophisticated scam duping people out of thousands of dollars.
Chad Schaeffer, who lives in Salt Lake City, is one of many victims. He said a man claiming to be with the Unified Police Department called to collect a fine for missing jury duty.
âThe number came up, and it said Unified Sheriffâs Department,â Schaeffer said. âYou know he identified himself, told me his badge number⦠I forget the name that he used. I think it was like Lt. Dan from Forrest Gump!â
