Jury Notice

Jury Scam Warning

The scammers threaten recipients with fines and jail time if they do not comply. They are also using certified mail to appear more legitimate. These communications are fraudulent and are not connected with the U.S. courts.

Persons receiving such a telephone call or email should not provide the requested information.

Please note:

• Federal courts do not require anyone to provide any sensitive information in a telephone call or email.
• Most contact between a federal court and a prospective juror will be through the U.S. mail, and any phone or email contact by real court officials will not include requests for any sensitive information.
• Jury duty is a vital civic responsibility and should be taken seriously by all citizens. However, it is a crime for anyone to falsely represent themself as a federal court official. The federal Judiciary takes such offenses seriously.
