Most of us take a summons for jury duty seriously. But enough people skip out on their civic duty that a new and ominous scam 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 for your Social Security number and date of birth in order to verify the information and cancel the arrest warrant. If you share this information, your identity may be stolen or compromised.
