US Marshals Service warns of a nationwide phone scam involving imposters posing as officials, demanding payment for fake jury duty fines.

The U.S. Marshals Service warns of a nationwide phone scam where imposters pose as U.S. Marshals, federal court personnel, or law enforcement officials. Scammers claim the victims failed to appear for jury duty and demand payment of a fine in cash, gift cards, or credit/debit card info to avoid arrest. They may provide genuine names and addresses of judges, court officers, and law enforcement to seem credible.
