Just got this email from a buddy .....
Pass this on to your grown children. This has been verified by the FBI
(their link is also included below). Please pass this on to everyone in your
email address book. It is spreading fast so be prepared should you get this
call. Most of us take those summonses for jury duty seriously, but enough
people skip out on their civic duty that a new and ominous kind of fraud has
surfaced.
The caller claims to be a jury DUTY coordinator. If you protest that you
never received a summons for jury duty, the scammer asks you for your Social
Security number and date of birth so he or she can verify the information
and cancel the arrest warrant. Give out any of this information and bingo,
your identity was just stolen.
The fraud has been reported so far in 11 states, including Oklahoma ,
Illinois, and Colorado . This (swindle) is particularly insidious because
they use intimidation over the phone to try to bully people into giving
information by pretending they are with the court system.
The FBI and the federal court system have issued nationwide alerts on their
web sites , warning consumers about the fraud.

Someone out there is always looking to scam someone. It does make one wonder what kind of angle will they try next.
How fun? 
Long story short it screwed up my PayPal account, I had to cancel one of my debit cards. This has put a small damper on my Mego buying sprees here in the market place.
