⚠️ : Florida residents are being targeted by phone calls threatening arrest for failing to comply with federal jury service.

The scammer tells the victim that he or she can avoid arrest or other negative consequences by making a payment, which may include purchasing a pre-paid gift card and then giving the card number to the scammer.

Do not provide the caller with any personal or financial information.

The U.S. Marshals Service and FBI are urging people to report these scams to their local FBI office, https://www.fbi.gov/contact-us/field-offices/miami.
