Listen up, Bay Area fam - there’s a new scam in town that’s more annoying than Silicon Valley traffic during rush hour. 🚨

The Sneaky Jury Duty Hustle

Criminals are getting creative, and not in the cool startup pitch deck way. They’re now targeting unsuspecting Peninsula residents with fake jury duty fine threats that would make even the most confident tech bro sweat.

How These Scammers Roll

These digital fraudsters are sliding into people’s phones with elaborate stories about missed jury duty, complete with fake badge numbers and Photoshopped “official” documents. They’re basically catfishing you, but instead of a dating app, it’s your bank account they’re trying to seduce.

Protect Your Digital Assets

Here’s the tea: official court personnel will NEVER ask for your personal payment info over the phone. If someone claims you owe money for jury duty and starts pressuring you, that’s your cue to hang up faster than a failed tech startup.

Pro tip? If you get one of these sketchy calls, contact your local police fraud unit immediately. Don’t engage, don’t panic, and definitely don’t hand over any financial details.

Stay woke, stay safe, and keep those scammer hands off your hard-earned cash! 💸
