>>> Subject: JURY DUTY SCAM
>>>
>>> This has been verified by the FBI (their link is also included below).
>>>
>>> The caller claims to be a jury duty coordinator. If you protest that you 
>>> never received a summons for jury duty, the Scammer asks you for your 
>>> Social Security number and date of birth so he or she can verify the 
>>> information and cancel the arrest warrant. Give out any of this 
>>> information and bingo; your identity was just stolen.     The fraud has 
>>> been reported so far in 11 states, including Oklahoma, Illinois, and 
>>> Colorado, PA, AZ, OR and more. This (swindle) is particularly insidious 
>>> because they use intimidation over the phone to try to bully people into 
>>> giving information by pretending they are with the court system. 
>>> The FBI and the federal court system have issued nationwide alerts on 
>>> their web sites, warning consumers about the fraud.          Check it 
>>> out here:     http://www.fbi.gov/page2/june06/jury_scams060206.htm>

>> Hi guys, Even though I am far from an expert, I am my 74 year old
