According to Gonzales, even though the callers can sound convincing, the calls are fake.
“The Bexar County Criminal District Attorney’s Office will never demand payment over the phone nor through a third-party payment system,” Gonzales said on Twitter.
If you have any questions or if someone has contacted you about an active warrant, delinquent payments or a missed jury duty, you are asked to call the District Attorney’s Office at 210-335-2311.
