JURY DUTY SCAM

Pass  this on to your grown children. 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 fraud 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.
