JURY DUTY- DO NOT DELETE WITHOUT
READING
Pass this on to your grown children and anyone else you can think of.
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 DUTY 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 fraud has been reported so far in 11 states, including Oklahoma ,
Illinois , and Colorado , AZ and more. 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.
