Lawrenceville city officials are warning the public of phone scammers posing as the city's municipal court.
A social media post by the city Friday said reports have been made of callers contacting city residents in reference to a claim number or affidavit. The calls appear to originate from Lawrenceville Municipal Court.
"Lawrenceville Municipal Court will not ask for any sensitive information over the phone," the post by the city said.
Officials advised that any residents who receive such a call should immediately hang up and not give any personal information to the caller. They said the scammer is likely trying to obtain financial information from victims.
Those with questions about court status can call Lawrenceville Municipal Court directly at 770-963-3288 or by sending an email to [email protected].
