{"success":true,"data":{"id":"fake-jury-duty-warrant-scam","label":"Fake jury duty arrest warrant scam — missed jury summons + arrest/bench warrant issued + pay fine via gift cards / prepaid card to clear warrant","description":"Email impersonating a court clerk, county court, or federal court claiming the recipient missed jury duty and has an active arrest warrant, bench warrant, or US Marshal warrant — then demanding immediate payment of a fine ($800–$1,500+) via prepaid debit card, gift card, Green Dot card, Western Union, or money order to \"clear\" the warrant and avoid arrest by a sheriff or federal agent. Real courts issue jury duty notices by certified mail, never by unsolicited email, and never demand gift card payment to clear a warrant. FTC/FBI 2024: government impersonation scams using fake arrest warrants are a top senior fraud category; the combination of authority (court/law enforcement) + urgency (arrest imminent) + untraceable payment method is the classic social engineering triad. If you receive a real jury summons, it will never contain a payment link.","tier":"danger","category":"scam","isThin":false}}
