Latest Scam Alert [View all]

Latest scam alert:  a phone call claiming you've missed a Summons to Jury Duty.  It shows as coming from a Private Number.  I got one of these calls about half an hour ago.  Seemed very strange--especially from a private number--and hung up when the original caller put me on hold to get her "Captain" from the Sheriff's Office, from which she was calling.  While I was googling to see if this is a scam (it is to get money from you to pay a fine for not showing up) I received three more calls from the "private number", which I didn't answer.   https://www.uscourts.gov/court-programs/jury-service/juror-scams

Good grief. What will the scammers think of next?
