Scam Alert: Fake Jury Duty Calls Target Rhode Islanders
The Rhode Island Attorney General's Office have issued warnings about a scam where individuals are told they have missed jury duty and must pay a fine to avoid arrest.
The scammers instruct victims to withdraw and transfer money, sometimes converting it into cryptocurrency.
Authorities stress that the court does not contact individuals for payments regarding jury service and advise against sending money.
Residents are encouraged to report any such calls to their local police department or the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center at www.ic3.gov
