Jury Duty Scam

[6pak]

Jury Duty Scam DO NOT DELETE WITHOUT READING ! Pass this on.

This has been verified by the FBI (their link is also included below).

Please pass this on to everyone in your email address book. It is

spreading fast so be prepared should you get this call. Most of us take

those summonses for jury duty seriously, but enough people skip out on

their civic duty, that a new and ominous kind of fraud has surfaced.

 

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. Give out any of this

information and bingo; your identity was just stolen.

 

The=2 0fraud has been reported so far in 11 states, including Oklahoma ,

Illinois , and Colorado . This (swindle) is particularly insidious

because they use intimidation over the phone to try to bully people into

giving information by pretending they are with the court system. The FBI

and the federal court system have issued nationwide alerts

on their web sites, warning consumers about the fraud.
