弗吉尼亞州西部地區的美國地方法院已警告公眾最近對全州犯罪分子和騙子的剝削。法院在其備忘錄中提到罪犯一直在偽造偽造逮捕令，以該地區的人員為目標。

According to the memo, the scammers have targeted several individuals, accusing them of missing jury duties. The criminals convince their victims and end up offering them a way out, which is usually a payment in Bitcoin or gift cards. To achieve this, they make use of realistic court style documents and urgent threats to exploit their victims.

根據備忘錄，詐騙者針對幾個人，指責他們缺少陪審團職責。罪犯說服受害者，最終為他們提供出路，這通常是用比特幣或禮品卡付款。為了實現這一目標，他們利用現實的法院風格文件和緊急威脅來利用受害者。

西弗吉尼亞法院對上升騙局的公開警告

According to the memo, after their victims have agreed to pay the penalty for missing jury duty, the criminals then guide them on how to pay using Bitcoin and other methods. “The scammers demand payment by Bitcoin, gift cards, or bank account information to resolve the issue,” the statement reads.

根據備忘錄，在受害者同意為失踪陪審團付出罰款之後，罪犯隨後指導他們如何使用比特幣和其他方法支付​​。聲明說：“騙子要求通過比特幣，禮品卡或銀行帳戶信息來解決問題。”

The West Virginia court also urged individuals not to fall for these scams as the court won’t issue arrest warrants for missing jury duty unless they have been previously summoned and missed it. “Please be advised that the United States District Courts do not issue arrest warrants for failing to appear for jury duty unless you have been summoned for jury duty and fail to appear,” the statement continued.

西弗吉尼亞州法院還敦促個人不要陷入這些騙局，因為法院不會因陪審團缺席逮捕令，除非他們以前被召喚並錯過了陪審團。聲明繼續說：“請告知，美國地方法院沒有因陪審團而沒有出庭而簽發逮捕令，除非您因陪審團的責任而被召喚，否則未履行陪審團。”

The West Virginia court also urged individuals to clarify if the calls are genuine if they are contacted for failing to show up for jury duty. It also asked those who have received suspicious messages to pay using Bitcoin, gift cards, and other methods to contact them. “If you receive an arrest warrant or other document purportedly from the United States District Courts that demands money, particularly Bitcoin and gift cards with payment by phone, please contact the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia,” the statement said.

西弗吉尼亞州法院還敦促個人澄清是否與陪審團履行陪審團有關，是否與他們聯繫。它還要求那些收到可疑消息的人使用比特幣，禮品卡和其他方法來付款。聲明說：“如果您收到據稱是從美國地方法院收到需要金錢的逮捕令或其他文件，尤其是通過電話付款的比特幣和禮品卡，請與美國地方法院聯繫弗吉尼亞州西部地區。”

This case is not isolated as other states in the country have witnessed a rise in these kinds of scams. For instance, a previous report mentioned the rise in the activities of con artists targeting elderly people in Pima County in Arizona. These criminals pretend to be officers from the Pima County Sheriff’s Department (PCSD) to carry out several evil activities.

此案不隔離，因為該國其他國家目睹了這類騙局的上升。例如，先前的報告提到針對亞利桑那州皮馬縣老年人的騙子活動的活動增加。這些罪犯假裝是皮馬縣警長部（PCSD）的官員，以開展幾項邪惡的活動。

Financial Crimes Detective in PCSD Michael Wilson mentioned that the rate of these crimes has ticked up these past few days. He mentioned that the criminals employed the same tactics of threatening elderly ones of not showing up and noting that they have a warrant for their arrest. “They will say: Hey you unfortunately didn't show up for jury duty and as a result, you have a warrant for your arrest,” Wilson said.

PCSD邁克爾·威爾遜（PCSD Michael Wilson）的金融犯罪偵探提到，過去幾天，這些犯罪的速度已經提高了。他提到，罪犯採用了威脅老年人的同樣策略，即不露面，並指出他們有逮捕令。威爾遜說：“他們會說：嘿，不幸的是，您沒有出於陪審團的職責而出現，因此您有被捕的逮捕令。”

Wilson mentioned that PCSD has been trying to sensitize the general public about these issues. He noted that they have begun hanging signs on top of these ATMs to dissuade people from sending funds to criminal elements.

威爾遜（Wilson）提到，PCSD一直在試圖對這些問題提高公眾。他指出，他們已經開始在這些自動取款機上懸掛標誌，以阻止人們向犯罪分子匯款。
