Scammers impersonating law enforcement, targeting public with ‘jury duty’ scam
The FBI Atlanta Division and its Savannah Resident Agency are warning the public to be on alert for a phone scam wherein the caller impersonates law enforcement or judicial officers and informs the targeted individuals that they have failed to respond to jury duty and are now required to pay associated fines/fees for their failure to appear for those duties.
These scams often involve the “spoofing” of names and telephone numbers of actual law enforcement/judicial officers appearing on the recipient’s caller ID. The individual is instructed that they can pay these fines and fees via Green Dot Money Pak cards.
