Copyable artifact

Verify first: do not continue inside their channel.

Real agencies do not demand payment by gift card, payment app, or crypto on a phone call. The safest next move is verification through a number, app, or person you already trusted before the message arrived.

FAMILY SCAM CIRCUIT — VERIFY FIRST

What happened:
Caller said I missed jury duty and must pay today to avoid arrest.

Channel: Inbound call or voicemail
Pattern: Court / agency threat — Caller says arrest, fines, jury duty, immigration, or tax trouble is imminent.
Risk score: 68/100

Immediate pause script:
“I do not handle urgent payments or codes during surprise calls. I am going to hang up, verify through my own contact list, and call back only if this is real.”

Red flags observed:
- Threatens arrest, deportation, account closure, or public shame
- Asks for gift cards, crypto, wire transfer, courier cash, or payment app
- Says the offer, rescue, or penalty expires in minutes

Safe verification plan:
1. Stop the conversation. Do not click, pay, install, or share codes.
2. Contact Mara within 15 minutes.
3. Look up the agency or court number yourself, then call and ask whether a real case exists.
4. Save screenshots, caller ID, payment handles, links, and timestamps.
5. If money or credentials were shared, call the bank/card provider from the official number and ask for fraud support.

Hard no:
Real agencies do not demand payment by gift card, payment app, or crypto on a phone call.

Trusted-contact message:
“Can you help me verify something? I received a inbound call or voicemail about court / agency threat. I will not pay, click, share codes, or install anything until you or an official number verifies it.”
