Hawaiʻi's Judiciary mailed 333,400 juror questionnaires Aug 14 — and put the scam warning in the same release. Before the complaints, not after. Smart timing. That's exactly when a call claiming to be from the court is most believable. courts.state.hi.us/news_and_…

Philadelphia. Tarrant County. Houston. Three courts, three states, six months. All replaced the paper juror questionnaire with a postcard and a QR code. Nobody has said publicly what happens to response among people who don't scan QR codes. northeasttimes.com/2026/08/0…

A Wisconsin sheriff warned about jury duty scam calls. Victims are sent to a crypto ATM on the way in. It works because the real process is opaque to jurors. Maryland's court beats it in one line: fines come from a judge in open court, never by phone. wbay.com/2026/08/06/door-cou…
