[Sipnoc24-attendees] JURY SCAM WARNING

Mon Sep 23 23:37:51 UTC 2024

Alex very cool.  Thanks for sharing.

Look the SiPForum can set up a closed email list for all of the SIPNOC 2024 attendees as well as other invitees to discuss these scam related issues and events  in a more controlled environment especially for the regulators.

I know how sensitive CTIA feels about short codes. 

Not everything you and others are discovering may not want to be revealed in your usual Social Media accounts.

If you think this is a useful idea let Marc and I know.

Just a brief reminder:

https://www.ctia.org/news/wireless-achieves-milestone-in-tracing-texts

CTIA Is on it (with a little help from some friends).   So far:
10 LEA referrals
6,000 SMS tracebacks
21,000 Sender Identities traced

Lots of work to do, but progress is being made.   Anyone can feel free to forward any problematic texts to investigations at youmail.com and they’ll get worked into the whole process that’s been set up to take a dent out of these campaigns.

Thanks for the update …I’m sure everyone appreciates this so keep this coming.  

BTW I just got a scam on SMS from a fake short code. 8 digits. Of course I know this but consumers don’t.

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:
The court will always send a jury summons by U.S. Mail.
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.
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.
Neither the court nor law enforcement will demand payment over the phone.
Neither the court nor law enforcement will demand a gift card number to satisfy an obligation or request payment via Zelle or Venmo.
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. Please help us protect the public from this scam by warning your clients, colleagues, friends and family.

Timothy J. Corrigan
Chief Judge
