ShelbyDude Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 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. Check it out here: http://www.fbi.gov/page2/june06/jury_scams060206.htm And here: http://www.snopes.com/crime/fraud/juryduty.asp Yep! It's true Please make sure and pass this on!

ejrail Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 The last time I was called, I was interviewed by the lawyers, defendant and Judge to be on a DUI jury. They asked me standard questions about drinking, etc. They then asked me if I had any bumber or window stickers on my truck and if so, what they said. I had a Bud sticker and a Univ. of Margaritaville banner in the back window. End of interview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
