Scams

This is the era of the scam.   Thoughout history there has always been scams.  People trying to make a quick buck.  But in our busy world when encountering the scam artisit we don't even think. Below is the latest opportunity to be scammed.  I verified this through Truthorfiction.com and it is true.

Jury Duty

The caller claims to be a Jury Duty 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, Ohio,
Illinois, Colorado, AZ and more. 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.
