Nationwide Jury Duty Scam Targets Residents, Law Enforcement Warns

News summary

Authorities across several states are warning residents about a widespread jury duty scam in which callers impersonate court officials or law enforcement, claiming the target has missed jury duty and must pay a fine or face arrest. These scammers often use urgent language, request payment through unusual methods such as gift cards or wire transfers, and may attempt to obtain sensitive personal information. Law enforcement agencies emphasize that courts never demand money or personal details over the phone or by email, and legitimate officials will not threaten arrest for missed jury service in this manner. Victims report being told to stay on the line, drive to police stations, or provide information to supposedly avoid legal trouble. Officials urge anyone who receives such a call or email to hang up, not provide any information or payment, and to report the incident to law enforcement or their state attorney general's office. The scams have been reported in New York, North Carolina, Indiana, Florida, and Maryland, highlighting the scheme's broad reach and persistence.
