This has been verified by the FBI (their link is also included
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.
