More than a dozen states, including California, have issued public warnings about calls from people claiming to be court officials or law enforcement officers.
Do not provide any information having to do with your bank account or credit card to anyone claiming to be an officer of the court or of the law over the phone or by email. Court officials and law enforcement will also never ask you to purchase gift cards, cryptocurrency, payment apps on your smartphone, or wire transfers as part of your jury service.
If you receive communication from someone make these kinds of requests of you, please contact the fraud unit of your local police department immediately and the jury office of your local court. Be advised that official court personnel may contact you by telephone, but they will never ask for any of the items listed above.
You can also report scams and suspicious communications to the Federal Trade Commission.
