What callers from (828) 307-0378 say

Caller claiming to be a sheriff said I missed jury duty and there was a warrant — needed to pay $750 fine immediately by gift card.

Why this matters: calls from this number have appeared in our directory 7 times across 3 distinct user reports between 2023-11-16 and 2025-10-14. Multiple independent reports describing the same script are a strong signal that the number is being used by an organized Scam Number List operation rather than a one-off mistake or wrong-number call.

The script associated with this number falls under our Court / Jury Duty category, where the caller pretends to represent the County Court / Sheriff. Read the category page for the broader pattern this fits into and how to verify whether you are actually being contacted by the agency in question.

If you answered the call: a step-by-step guide to what to do in the next 24 hours covers credit freezes, agency reporting, and which contacts to update first if you shared any personal information during the call.

Where the number is calling from

The caller-ID number reported is (828) 307-0378, with the area code 828 historically assigned to North Carolina. That does not mean the call physically originates there. Modern voice-over-IP services let Scam Number Listmers display essentially any number on the recipient's caller-ID screen, and the most common pattern is to spoof a number with the same area code as the person being called so the call looks "local." If you've received a call you believe came from this number, do not rely on the displayed caller-ID as evidence of who actually called you.

If this number is yours

It is genuinely possible that the number on this page is a real, legitimately-owned phone line whose caller ID has been spoofed by a Scam Number List operation without the owner ever placing a call. If that's the case for you, see our contact page for the process to add a clarifying notice or have the listing removed.

Robocall threatening a bench warrant for missed jury duty. The county listed isn't even where I live.

Said he was Sergeant Daniels with the county sheriff's warrant division. I had a "failure to appear" for jury duty and needed to pay $750 in gift cards or be arrested. Sheriff's office confirmed this is a known Scam Number List.

Court clerk impersonator wanted me to read off prepaid card numbers over the phone to satisfy a "contempt of court fine." Real courts do not collect fines this way.

What you should do if this number called you

  1. Don't call back. The number may auto-route to an overseas call center. Returning the call confirms a working line.
  2. Block the number. Most modern phones have built-in spam blocking; block the full number, not just the prefix.
  3. Report it to the impersonated agency. File a complaint with the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov and, if the call impersonated County Court / Sheriff, with that agency directly through its official complaint channel.
  4. Tell us. Adding your report helps the next person who searches this number find the warning sooner.
