The Court has been informed of a new phishing scam that is making its way around the Internet.  In this scam, an e-mail is sent from JuryDuty@donotreply.gov informing the recipient that he or she has been selected for jury duty and needs to appear at the Federal Courthouse within three weeks. The e-mail contains a link that allegedly has additional information.  A sample of the e-mail can be found below.

These e-mails are not from the Court.  You should not respond to them, nor should you click on any links contained in the e-mail.  If you receive such an e-mail, please do not contact the Court.  You may delete the email.
