Local officials in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach County have issued alerts warning the public about the increasing threat of jury scams that jeopardize the fairness of the justice system, Lisa Wills reports for Law.com’s Daily Business Review. Scammers are using advanced methods to deceive individuals into revealing personal information and paying money under false threats of arrest and imprisonment. Officials are emphasizing vigilance and caution and say that legitimate jury summons will only come from the Miami-Dade Clerk’s office, and any demand for fines or threats of jail time are fraudulent.
