The local Panama City, FL TV station mentioned a scam which is going around this area.

A supposed deputy calls and says you have been fined for not showing up for jury duty. He then tells you to put the amount on a Wal-Mart card and mail it to some address.

I can’t see anyone falling for that one but some must.

I got a junk mail today ostensibly from a court with a subject “Failure to Appear.” The mail naturally had an attachment. Didn’t open it.

Allen, the chances of that call actually originating in Montreal are ZERO. The scammers use IP Spoofing to hide their VOIP calls.
