Be careful of this one. This is a phone scam where callers pretend to be officers of the court, they say you missed jury duty and then start asking for personal information so they can clear things up and keep you from getting arrested. Result - your ID is stolen.
Your response should be to hang up and contact the courts yourself. Also let the court know of the attempt to steal your ID and they will give you guidance on how to report the incident.
