N.D. (KFGO) – The U-S Marshal’s service is urging you to contact the federal Trade Commission if you receive a call from someone claiming to represent the Marshal’s service.

People across the country have been contacted by scammers who claim to be with the marshal’s service, other law enforcement agencies or a court office who tell victims they can avoid arrest for missing jury duty. They ask that you buy a pre-paid debit or gift card and provide the number on the card.

They can also manipulate phone numbers to make it appear as though the calls are coming from a legitimate law enforcement agency or government office. If you receive a threatening call like this call the federal Trade Commission immediately.
