Local nonprofit leader shares warning after scammers spoofed JEA phone number | 'It looked real'

A Jacksonville nonprofit leader says scammers used JEA’s phone number to try to pressure her into paying a bill she says she didn’t owe.

However, McGuire vacated the building more than a year ago. Reporter Briana Brownlee has the latest.
