Today I received two different phone calls from panicked individuals who thought they had missed a federal jury duty summons. They were told that a warrant for their arrest was going to be issued unless immediate payment was made.
This is not how jury duty works. You also would not be required to make payment via gift cards or barcodes at a local Walmart or any other establishment. I know it sounds foolish, but there have been multiple victims of scams like this.
If you ever have any concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to an attorney or to the courts to verify the information.
