This one almost caught my parents. In this one, scammers get information on people who have moved to a different county, often via public information about home sales. They then call to say you never responded to a county jury duty summons in your prior county of residence and that an officer of the court will be coming to your new home to arrest you. Then a scammer shows up (as said officer) and says you can get out of being arrested by paying an alternative fine.
Fortunately after the first call, my parents realized to verify this with the clerk of county court in their prior county of residence.
