NEWS & ANNOUNCEMENTS

U.S. Marshal Service Public Alert Regarding Jury Phone Scams

The U.S. Marshals and the FBI are alerting the public of several nationwide
imposter scams involving individuals claiming to be U.S. marshals, court
officers, or other law enforcement officials. They are urging people to report
the calls their local FBI office (https://www.fbi.gov/contact-us), and file a
consumer complaint with the Federal Trade Commission, which has the ability to
detect patterns of fraud from the information collected and share that data with
law enforcement.

During these calls, scammers attempt to collect a fine in lieu of arrest for
failing to report for jury duty or other offenses. They then tell victims they
can avoid arrest by purchasing a prepaid debit card such as a Green Dot card or
gift card and read the card number over the phone to satisfy the fine.

Scammers use many tactics to sound credible. They sometimes provide information
like badge numbers, names of actual law enforcement officials and federal
judges, and courthouse addresses. They may also spoof their phone numbers to
appear on caller ID as if they are calling from the court or a government
agency.

Things to remember:

 * U.S. Marshals will never ask for credit/debit card/gift card numbers, wire
   transfers, or bank routing numbers for any purpose.
 * Don’t divulge personal or financial information to unknown callers.
 * Report scam phone calls to your local FBI office and to the FTC.
 * You can remain anonymous when you report.
 * Authenticate the call by calling the clerk of the court’s office of the U.S.
   District Court in your area and verify the court order given by the caller.

If you believe you were a victim of such a scam, you are encouraged to report
the incident to your local FBI office and to the FTC.

Additional information about the U.S. Marshals Service can be found at

ALERT: New Jury Scam Targeting Citizens

A new jury scam is targeting citizens within Middle Georgia.  Emails are being
sent advising citizens that they failed to appear for jury duty, and directing
them to contact the “Judicial Division of the U.S. Marshals Office.”  The
subject line of the emails is “F.T.A. Notification” and the sender’s email
address replicates the name of a clerk and uses “US.District.Courts@clerk.com.”

Most contact between a federal court and prospective juror will be through U.S.
mail, and any phone or email contact by court staff will not include requests
for sensitive information such as social security numbers or credit card
information.   Emails from the court are sent from an email address that
contains a “.gov” extension, and not “.com”. 

If anyone suspects they have been targeted by this scam or is contacted by
someone requesting payments related to jury duty, please do not make the
payment.  Instead, immediately report the incident to your local law enforcement
agency.  You may also contact the U.S. District Court Clerk’s Office at (478)
752-3497 for verification of any suspicious communications related to jury
service.

  Please see the attached press release
