Jury Duty ID Theft Scam Spreads
A new form of identity theft is targeting one of the nation's most important obligations, jury duty.
The Early Show consumer correspondent Susan Koeppen reports that scam artists are banking on the seriousness most people attach to jury duty.
Koeppen explains that the scammers figure their targets are good citizens who are willing to give up some key personal information because they're needed in the courtroom.
One target of such a ploy, Colorado grandmother Diana Koenig, tells Koeppen she "was definitely duped, definitely, and it was so slick I didn't know it."
