I got the same email, but I know for a fact that you can't send any court documents through emails it isn't official in the United States. The problem is that a lot of them are from like India, Africa, and the Middle East so the government has a hard time getting it to stop. I've reported it all the way to the State Attorney Generals office. Just mark them as spam and ignore it. There is no way they can get you for fraud or laundering for not paying back loans it is all civil. I've talked to the FBI personally on the matter.
i received an email from this company that says that they are from the "State Investigation Department" and there is a arrest warrant against my name for money laundrying. when i tried to call the number back it tells me that the number i have reached is not a valid number
I wouldn't give them a second thought - the email is from scammers. Debt is civil, not criminal, so there is NO arrest warrant. Even if you failed to pay back a loan, it's not a crime or "money laundering". You can forward the email to the FBI at their Internet Crime Complaint Center - www.ic3.gov Here's more on this scam:

Extortion Scam Related to Delinquent Payday Loans
Washington, D.C.
December 07, 2010 FBI National Press Office
(202) 324-3691
— filed under: Press Release
The Internet Crime Complaint Center has received many complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. Callers claim the victim is delinquent in a payday loan and must repay the loan to avoid legal consequences. The callers purport to be representatives of the FBI, Federal Legislative Department, various law firms, or other legitimate-sounding agencies. They claim to be collecting debts for companies such as United Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Net, and other Internet check-cashing services.
According to complaints received from the public, the callers have accurate data about victims, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, employer information, bank account numbers, and the names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends. How the fraudsters obtained the personal information varies, but in some cases victims have reported they completed online applications for other loans or credit cards before the calls started.
The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim’s home, cell phone, and place of employment. They refuse to provide any details about the alleged payday loans and become abusive when questioned. The callers have threatened victims with legal actions, arrests, and, in some cases, physical violence if they do not pay. In many cases, the callers harass victims’ relatives, friends, and employers.

I received an email saying the same thing. These scammers are getting ridiculous. I'm thinking of turning the email and print out the letter and sending it to the police.
Yeah I received the same email on 3/21/2014 that says Arrest Warrant for money laundering. I opened up the document and everything looked doctored/cut-copy-paste. The email is ' aol.com'. SCAM! Amazing what people will do for to scare you for money. SICK!
