Phone Scam

What: "Got word of an identity theft scam active elsewhere in the nation which seems ready-made for the FHA's civic-minded kind of constituency. The phone caller identifies herself as a jury pool coordinator following up on unanswered jury pool summons. When the targeted victim claims to have not received the summons, the phone caller asks for social security number and birth date to verify. With that information given, the identify theft has occurred."
