Jury Duty Scam...

There is an email going around about a Jury Duty scam. The FBI has actually posted warnings about this scam on their website. A mom at M's school was saying that she had actually received one of these calls, so I am giving everyone a "head's up", so to speak. This is how the scam works. Someone telephones you and says that you are being prosecuted for skipping jury duty. You tell them that you didn't receive a summons for jury duty and had no idea that you were supposed to serve. They tell you that there is a warrant out for your arrest. They then offer to verify that you are the correct person by asking for your full name, social security number, etc. Then, BAM, they steal your identity. The mom at M's school said that they were VERY threatening and sounded so serious that she would have given them that information is her husband hadn't been home. She was so upset that she handed him the phone and when he got on the line they hung up. He searched the Internet and discovered that this has been going on for a while now. Luckily she wasn't the next victim!
