Jury duty scam- pass it on!

 JURY DUTY SCAM

 This has been verified by the FBI (their link is also included below). 
Please pass this on to everyone in your email address book. It is 
spreading fast so be prepared should you get this call. Most of us 
take summons for jury duty seriously, but enough people skip out on 
their civic duty, that a new and ominous kind of scam has surfaced. 
The caller claims to be a jury coordinator. If you protest that you 
never received a summons for jury duty, the scammer asks you for your 
Social Security number and date of birth so he or she can verify the 
information and cancel the arrest warrant. Give out any of this 
information and bingo; your identity just got stolen. The scam has 
been reported so far in 11 states, including Oklahoma, Illinois, and 
Colorado. This (scam) is particularly insidious because they use 
intimidation over the phone to try to bully people into giving 
information by pretending they're with the court system. The FBI and 
the federal court system have issued nationwide alerts on their web 
sites, warning consumers about the fraud.  For confirmation:
