Citizens from around the state have received calls from people claiming to be court officials chasing scofflaws who have missed jury duty. When the target protests that they knew nothing of the supposedly missed jury duty, the caller de­ mands personal identifying infor­ mation (such as Social Security numbers and dates of birth) to confirm that the target is not at risk of fine or arrest. 'This is a particularly inge­ nious scam because it preys on people's fears and indignation at being falsely accused of breaking the law," said Pamela J.
