A warning is being issued about a scam involving missed jury duty. Callers claimed a person could be arrested if they did not pay a fee. The scammers appeared to be well-prepared, making the call seem legitimate.

They told their target that a federal jury summons had been delivered to their home, which the target denied receiving. The target had previously recognized suspicious calls, but this one was more convincing. Further details about the scam are available, including the amount of money the target was nearly tricked into paying, which was substantial.
