[Sipnoc24-attendees] JURY SCAM WARNING

[pmacres at kleinlawpllc.com]

Great seeing everyone at SIPNOC 2024 last week. 

 

Earlier this afternoon, I received the scam warning below from the U.S.
District Court for the Middle District of Florida and wanted to be sure
folks that attended SIPNOC are aware of this latest scam. 

 

I would not be surprised if these calls involve AI and illegal robocalling. 

 

Best regards,

 

Phil

JURY SCAM WARNING


Residents of the Middle District of Florida continue to receive fraudulent
phone calls claiming that they failed to appear for jury duty in federal
court and/or have an arrest warrant or face a similar adverse situation. The
scammer tells the victim that he or she can avoid arrest or other negative
consequences by making a payment, which may include purchasing a prepaid
card and then giving the card number to the scammer. Scammers may also ask
for payment via Venmo or Zelle.

The scammer may sound convincing and use real information about the victim;
real court addresses; and real names of law enforcement officers, court
officials, and federal judges to make the scam appear more credible.
Scammers may even "spoof" the phone number on caller ID so that the call
falsely appears to be from a court or government agency, including local
sheriff's offices.

These phone calls are not from the U.S. District Court for the Middle
District of Florida, the U.S. Marshals Service, or other law enforcement
agencies. No one should provide the scam caller with any personal
information, credit card numbers, prepaid card numbers, cryptocurrency, or
other money. Here are the facts:

1.	The court will always send a jury summons by U.S. Mail.
2.	A prospective juror who disregards a jury summons will be contacted
through the mail or email by the court clerk's office and may, in certain
circumstances, be ordered to appear before a judge. Such an order will
always be in writing and signed by the judge.
3.	A fine will never be imposed until AFTER the individual has appeared
in court and been given the opportunity to explain his or her circumstances.
If a fine is imposed, it will be in open court and reduced to writing.
4.	Neither the court nor law enforcement will demand payment over the
phone.
5.	Neither the court nor law enforcement will demand a gift card number
to satisfy an obligation or request payment via Zelle or Venmo.
6.	The court does not have a kiosk to accept payments. Neither the
court nor law enforcement will instruct someone to make payment at a kiosk.

If you received a scam phone call and wish to verify whether you have been
summoned for federal jury duty in the Middle District of Florida, please
contact the clerk's office <https://www.flmd.uscourts.gov> . Please help us
protect the public from this scam by warning your clients, colleagues,
friends and family.
