A warning is being issued about a scam involving missed jury duty. Callers reportedly convinced a man he could be arrested if he didn't pay a large sum of money. The man, who has experience recognizing suspicious calls, was nearly deceived into paying $15,000.

The callers appeared to be well-prepared, claiming a federal jury summons had been delivered to the man's home. They told him he had failed to appear, despite his denial of receiving a summons. Further details about this incident are available, including the man's account of the experience and how the callers attempted to deceive him.
