Jury Duty scam
You get a call from someone claiming to be a jury coordinator. You protest that you never received a summons. The caller asks for your social security number and date of birth so he or she can verify the information and cancel the arrest warrant.
Give out the info? Bingo. Your identity just got stolen.
This scam is not the only one out there. There are dozens. If you think you've been approached or emailed or called by a scam artist, there's a handy little section of the FBI website, outlining the current crop of scams being perpetrated out there. It might be good to check it once in a while.
Check it out here.
