CONCORD — United States Attorney Jane E. Young and United States Marshal William Hart are alerting the public of a rise in complaints regarding two scams. The first scam is a jury summons scam aimed at obtaining New Hampshire residents’ personal identifying information and payment of a fine. The second scam is a cash bond scam aimed at receiving virtual currency deposits from victims.
The reported phone fraudster(s) in the jury summons scam represent themselves to be a United States Marshal or a state or local law enforcement officer, claiming to be contacting New Hampshire residents who did not comply with a jury summons. They request a return call to obtain personal identifying information and/or threaten to arrest an individual if a fine is not paid.
