The Sussex County (NJ) Clerk’s Office has received numerous calls from concerned citizens (inside and out of our county) who have received phone calls from someone claiming to represent the County Clerk’s Office. The caller makes further claims that our office has information that can be used against them, which can be removed from record upon payment to our office.
THIS IS A SCAM. These calls are NOT coming from our office.
Our phone number and office are being used as a means to scam people out of money.
If you feel you were the victim of this scam, contact the Sussex County Prosecutor’s Office at 973-383-1570 and ask for the Duty Detective.
