TweetThis! WARNING: Jury Duty Scam

Never give out personal information to
an unsolicited phone call or email

This has been verified by the FBI (their link is also included below). Pass this on to everyone. 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 (ssn) and date of birth (dob) so s/he 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.
