Subject: Jury Duty Scam







Most of us take those summons for jury duty seriously, but enough people
skip out on their civic duty,
that a new and ominous kind of scam has surfaced. Fall for it and your
identity could be stolen,
reports CBS news.
In this con, someone calls pretending to be a court official who
threateningly says a warrant has
been issued for your arrest because you didn't show up for jury duty. The
caller claims to be a jury
coordinator.
If you protest that you never received a summons for jury duty, the scammer
asks you for your
Social Security number and date of birth so he or she can verify the
information and cancel
the arrest warrant. Sometimes they even ask for credit card numbers. Give
out any of this
information and bingo! Your identity just got stolen.
The scam has been reported so far in 11 states, including Oklahoma,
Illinois, and Colorado.
This (scam) is particularly insidious because they use intimidation over
the phone to try and
bully people into giving information by pretending they're with the court
system.
The FBI and the federal court system have issued nationwide alerts on their
websites,
warning consumers about the fraud.
