(Please share with friends and family that may be vulnerable to such scams).

The U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon has received reports that people purporting to be court staff have called members of the public and falsely claimed that their targets failed to respond to a jury summons or subpoena and owe a fine.

Please be advised that the staff of the District of Oregon will never call a member of the public to demand money. If you have any questions about whether a communication you receive about a federal jury summons in Oregon is legitimate, please call 503-326-8100 or e-mail pjury@ord.uscourts.gov, and the Jury Department will provide accurate information to you.
