Scam

I check this out on Snopes and it's true.

> Please pass this on. It is spreading fast so be prepared should you get this call.

> Most of us take the summons for jury duty seriously, but enough
> people skip out on their civic duty, that a new and ominous kind of scam
> has surfaced. Fall for it and your identity could be stolen, reports
> CBS. In this con, someone calls pretending to be a court official who
> threateningly says a warrant has been issued for your arrest because you
> didn't show up for jury duty. 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. Sometimes they even ask for credit card numbers. Give out any
> of this
> information and .... Bingo! Your identity has just been stolen.

> The scam has been reported so far in 11 states. This scam is
> particularly insidious because they use intimidation over the phone to
> try to bully people into giving information by pretending they're with
> the court system. The FBI and the federal court system have issued
> nationwide alerts on their web sites, warning consumers about the fraud.

> Pass this on.
