There's A Warrant Out For Your Arrest!

Oh my, the scammers just work and work at trying to separate you from your identity.

Just this week a co-worker sent me an e-mail to verify. Sadly, it's a real one.

Someone calls you on the phone and tells you that they're calling from the courthouse and that you have a warrant out for your arrest because (get this!) you missed JURY DUTY!

"But I didn't miss jury duty, I didn't get a notice."

"Well, I'm going to have to verify this, it will just take a few minutes. I'll look you up. What's your social security number and birth date?"

BING BING BING!

There's the operative word, they want your SSN!

First, the courts and the jury duty staff DO NOT call you! Not going to happen, there's not enough time in the day to call up every person who no-shows for jury duty. (Sad, but true.)

Second, they would NEVER, EVER, EVER ask you for your SSN.

A fool and his money -- and identity -- are soon parted.

Don't be a fool, don't fall for the BULL DROPPINGS!
