Jury Duty Scam - Melanie Verified it - Really!

Hi Everyone, I just got this e-mail from a friend and since I was just called to jury duty this month I figured I’d ready it…well then I decided maybe I should verify if it was accurate and I found a warning on the FBI website just like they said…here is the link… http://www.fbi.gov/pressrel/pressrel05/092805.htm 

This has been verified by the FBI according to the sender.

>Colorado.  This (scam) is particularly insidious because they use
>intimidation over the phone to try to bully people into giving
>information by pretending they're with the court system.

>The FBI and the federal court system have issued nationwide alerts on
>their web sites, warning consumers about the fraud.
