Jury Duty Scam --- DO NOT DELETE WITHOUT READING !This has been verified by the FBI (their link is also included above).Please pass this on to everyone in your email address book. It isspreading fast so be prepared should you get this call. Most of us takethose summonses for jury duty seriously, but enough people skip out ontheir civic duty, that a new and ominous kind of fraud has surfaced.The caller claims to be a jury coordinator. If you protest that younever received a summons for jury duty, the scammer asks you for yourSocial Security number and date of birth so he or she can verify theinformation and cancel the arrest warrant. Give out any of thisinformation and bingo; your identity was just stolen.The fraud has been reported so far in 11 states, including Oklahoma,Illinois, and Colorado. This (swindle) is particularly insidious becausethey use intimidation over the phone to try to bully people into givinginformation by pretending they are with the court system. The FBI andthe federal court system have issued nationwide alerts on their websites, warning consumers about the fraud.
