Ask The Money Coach

Ahhhh, the con men of the world never cease to amaze me. Especially when they get flagrant in their tactics. This time, they’re pretending to be court officials. They’re calling people on the phone, and berating individuals for allegedly failing to report for jury duty. Problem is: the people being called haven’t really missed a jury duty notice. The scammers on the phone just want to scare people into thinking they’re in trouble with the law. And of course, the caller on the phone has a quick solution: Just pay your court fine immediately and this problem will go away. Oh, and did I mention that they need your credit card number to pay that fine? If you get a call like this, hang up on these greedy (albeit bold) villains. This is just another identity theft scam.
