DENTON (CBSDFW.COM) - A phone scam in Denton.

Denton Police say the caller identified himself as Detective Paul Guest.

He tells the victim they have missed their required jury service and a warrant is about to be issued for their arrest.

The caller has said he's a representative of both the courts of Judge Robert Ramsay and Judge Mary Horn.

The man says the person can pay a fine and a warrant will not be issued for his or her arrest.

Denton Police warn citizens this is not a legitimate representative of the court and not to set up any type of payment that is requested by this person.
