We just got a report from one of our clients that the old Jury Duty scam (around since 2001) is back on the rise. In this particular scam you get a call from a person claiming to work for the courts who is outraged that you did not show up for your scheduled jury duty.
This is the proper time to hang up. If you stay on the phone the scammer will start asking for your phone number, social, address, etc so they can “verify your information”. Next thing you know you are being taken to the cleaners by a bunch of crooks.
