A warning is being issued about a scam involving missed jury duty. Callers claimed a person could be arrested if they did not pay a fine. The scam nearly succeeded, with a potential loss of $15,000.

The people behind the scam seemed well-prepared, fooling even someone who has received suspicious calls before. They used a spoofed number to make their call appear legitimate. Further details about the scam are available, including the tactics used by the callers to convince their target to pay.
