Identity thieves have contacted Yellowstone County residents and threatened them for failing to report for jury service. The thieves are seeking confidential information. The local courts and Jury Assembly Room staff will NEVER call you or e-mail you and ask for Social Security Numbers, credit card numbers or other sensitive information. Do not give out such information to anyone claiming to be with the judicial system who calls or e-mails you.
If a person did give out his/her Social Security Number, please call the Social Security Fraud Hotline at 1-800-269-0271 and all three credit bureaus.
