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 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. 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 Minnesota,
Oklahoma, Illinois, and Colorado . This (scam) is particularly
insidious because they use intimidation over the phone to try to 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
web sites, warning consumers about the fraud.

PLEASE PASS THIS ON. ESPECIALLY TO ANY SENIOR CITIZENS YOU KNOW EVEN IF
THEY DON'T HAVE EMAIL, PRINT & GIVE THEM A COPY.

Okay Will have to admit it this is true this was even on the news here
in Fort Worth first of all no public office will ask you for your social
security number pretaining to jury duty so this is a big red flag and
has been used so watch out!

Thanks for the warning Millsdd they haven't hit here yet I know what to
do if they ever do however I never give out my SS# to any unknow caller
for I just don't answer these kind of calls anyway. I will delete if

Thank you sir.

If you fail to show up for jury duty (accidentally or not) an officer
WILL find you. There are not phone calls.. only a personal visit and a
personal escort to the judge.

That is good to know. Will pass it on.

that's right roses. if it's official court business, they will HAPPILY
send an officer to your home. OR, you can have some REAL fun with them
and give them a phoney SSN. Steal THAT mutha fuckas LOL
