Fraudulent juror information surveys appearing in ColoradoThe State Court Administrator's Office (SCAO), Colorado Judicial Department, has been notified that fraudulent jury summons questionnaires are showing up in Colorado mail boxes to gain personal identifying information from citizens. SCAO wants all citizens to know that jury commissioners never contact potential jurors to acquire or verify personal identification information."The jury system is a critical element of Colorado's judicial process so we want to make sure that no portion of the process is compromised," says Jerry Marroney, Colorado State Court Administrator. "We are very concerned to hear that someone is apparently using the process to gain access to personal identifying information."At a time when identity theft is occurring at alarming rates, citizens need to be alert to all information requests," adds Marroney. Jury commissioners will never use return mail questionnaires asking for personal information such as social security numbers, addresses or hours of employment. This is not a procedure used to obtain or verify potential juror information. If you are contacted by someone claiming to be a jury commissioner, or any court official, requesting such information please try to get as much information as possible from the caller and contact your local law enforcement officials immediately. If you have caller identification, please record the number from the caller as well.For information about jury service in the Colorado courts system, visit http://www.courts.state.co.us/chs/court/jury/jury.htm.
