Jury Duty Scam - This was sent to me through e-mail

This came from Rogers Group the corporate lawyer..

> Today a corporate employee was targeted for an identity theft scam known
> as the "Jury Duty Scam". In this scam, the perpetrator contacts the
> intended victim and angrily accuses the victim of missing a jury duty
> appearance. The caller tells the victim they are scheduled for a bench
> warrant (arrest) the following day. Once the caller has the victim's
> attention, they ask the victim for personal information, which the victim
> often gladly volunteers in an effort to cooperate and avoid any trouble.
>
> The caller today spoke with several in the office and was characterized by
> all as "extremely rude". The caller shared the story of how our employee
> had allegedly missed jury duty and would be arrested the following day.
> The employee had received no written notice of jury duty. A check with
> the state and federal courthouse found that the name given by the caller
> was not a court employee, and that our employee was not on any jury duty
> list. Fortunately, the caller never actually spoke with the intended
> target and no personal information was relayed.
