** mysteriously call to claim they have several thousand of dollars to send you / give ....just provide your bank account and credit card right away etc etc.........scam scam
It is illegal to forge any state or federal document. What I've done is copied and pasted your comments and the "fake Arrest warrant" along with the email to my local satellite F.B.I. Branch (internet crime division) For them doing this on such a large scale with court "state" or "federal" forgeries if convicted (and it's a scam so they will- just look at their "warrant" as there is no county or state listed on it) they will get federal prison time.
Also Homeland Security will be involved using the patriot act, along with the I.R.S. (if they suckered anyone out of money) and tax fraud on their part (these scams) carry Federal Prison Terms as well.
So IF YOU GET AN EMAIL FROM THEM JUST DO WHAT I DID- your local F.B.I. office is easy to look up in your county or state & go to their internet crime division. It only takes a few minuets to do...
I received an email about a warrant for my arrest, attached the letter with the United States District Court on the top of the warrant. When I called this bogus foreigner he could not find me unless I gave my email address. I contacted the Attorney Generals Office and I am reporting and forwarding the email they sent me, to them. They need to be stopped and stop using the US as their firewall to them.
