Someone says I missed jury duty and must send money to avoid arrest. Is that real?

1. End the call. Do not follow instructions to visit an ATM or send a payment.
2. In the US, contact the named court's jury office using its official court website.
3. Save the message and report the impersonation to local law enforcement. Verify any actual mailed court notice separately.

The caller threatens immediate arrest, demands secrecy, or insists on gift cards, cryptocurrency, or a cash courier.
