WARNING -

Jury Scams - A number of calls have been received from individuals indicating they received an email that appears to be a grand jury subpoena issued by the U.S. District Court, Southern District of California.  The email was sent from a USCOURTS.COM address.  This email is NOT a valid communication from a federal court and may contain harmful links.  If you receive this email, please do not click on any links or download any information relating to it.   

Additionally, it has been reported that individuals are receiving phones calls by a caller claiming to be an officer of the court and that a warrant has been issued for failure to report for jury duty.  In attempt to verify information, the caller asks for a Social Security number and date of birth (and sometimes a credit card number.)  If you receive such a call, please hang up the phone.  Court personnel will not ask you for this type of personal information over the phone.
