Jury Duty Job Scam Preys on Busy Workers

When you get a summons to serve jury duty, do you think, "Oh boy! A chance to do my civic duty!" or do you think, "Uh oh -- while my boss can't legally keep me from serving, how am I ever going to get caught up if I'm selected for a long trial?" If it's the latter, you might be like thousands of other busy employees who put the summons at the bottom of a huge pile of paperwork, eventually forgetting about it.
