Subject: JURY DUTY FRAUD
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 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.
