Recent Increase in Jury Duty Scams Reported in Washington State
Washington courts and justice system members are reporting a recent and significant increase in jury scam calls, emails and mailings targeting state residents. Scammers can be very convincing, repeating your name, address, Social Security numbers and other information that makes them seem legitimate. Please tell your family, friends, colleagues, and neighbors that courts, law enforcement and government agencies do not initiate calls about missing jury service and warrants, and will never ask for payment or financial information over the phone.
The Washington judicial branch in 2023 used collaborations and innovations developed during the pandemic, as well as support from state lawmakers, to improve access to courts, launch new case management technology and a unique reimbursement bureau, expand therapeutic courts, study remote court proceedings, improve judicial sharing of protection orders, and much more. . .
