SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 07, 2026 Scammers are impersonating local and federal jury offices and law enforcement. They may use your personal details, real agency names, and fake badge numbers to pressure you into staying on the line and threaten arrest or fines. Courts never call to demand payment or personal information. Do not share any information—hang up immediately. Verify jury matters only by contacting your local or federal jury office using official phone numbers.
