Beware of jury duty scams
May 30, 2018 06:05AM ● By BEACON Senior News
AARP Foundation ElderWatch has seen a spike in jury duty scams reported across Colorado. Scammers will call and claim that you have failed to report for jury duty and a warrant is out for your arrest. Scammers will then ask for personal information and insist you pay a fine via wire transfer. Remember that U.S. court officials and law enforcement offices will not call you—they typically follow up by mail. If you have any questions about jury duty scams, call the ElderWatch helpline at 1-800-222-4444, option 2, to speak with an AARP Foundation Fraud Fighter volunteer who can help.
