LAS VEGAS – The Eighth Judicial District Court is alerting the public to an expanding jury duty
scam involving fraudulent notices. Scammers are mailing fake jury summons that closely resemble
the official postcards used by the court. These scams may display a jury ID number, group number,
and even include a counterfeit QR code intended to mislead recipients.

While the Eighth Judicial District Court does send legitimate jury summons by postcard, there are
important differences to recognize. The scam postcards may contain incorrect information, such
as reporting dates that do not align with court schedules (for example, listing a Saturday as the
reporting date), unfamiliar phone numbers, or QR codes that lead to unofficial websites or request
sensitive information.

The phone number listed on scam postcards may ring without answer or connect to a voicemail,
prompting callers to leave a message.

How to Differentiate an Official Jury Summons from a Scam:

• Official jury postcards from the Eighth Judicial District Court will direct the recipient to a
  secure website to verify the authenticity of the summons.
• Official reporting dates will always fall on regular business days in accordance with court
  operations; scam postcards may list dates that do not align with court schedules, such as a
  Saturday.
• Official court contact information is included on legitimate postcards; scam notices may
  reference unfamiliar or suspicious phone numbers.
• Scam postcards may include a counterfeit QR code intended to mislead recipients.

If you receive a suspicious jury notice, do not respond, scan any QR codes, or provide any personal
information.
