No, You Didn't Miss Jury Duty

It is honestly the most foul way to scam someone, and they're doing it! Scammers now are trying to target you by saying that you've missed your jury summons.

Jury duty is a civic duty that all of us have to attend when summoned, whether you want it to or not. There are some legal ramifications that do occur if failed to show up for jury duty, which can include fines or jail time if missed.

How Do You Avoid This Scam?

Honestly, a good step to avoid any scam that involves money, is to keep in mind, no business (that is legitimate), will ask for money from you over the phone.

If you ever have questions or feel that it could be legit, the best action would be to hang up and call the actual number for the company, and verify with another rep/person over the phone. However, no official government agency will ask for money over the phone.
