The phone rings, you pick it up, and the caller identifies himself as an officer of the court. He says you failed to report for jury duty and that a warrant is out for your arrest. You say you never received a notice. To clear it up, the caller says he'll need some information for "verification purposes"-your birth date, social security number, maybe even a credit card number.
This is when you should hang up the phone. It's a scam.

Thanks for the heads up, Debbie!

I didn't realize it when I forwarded that to you, but it was originally posted on the FBI website in 2006. So it's old. But good information to keep in mind nonetheless...
