I just got an email this morning from a john smith, state attorney from Florida. I called the 305-280-5852 it's a magic jack number that hasn't been assigned to anyone.
just got the identical email same amount of money etc and no legal documents are downloaded they are handled by us mail this one is going straight to the attorney general and maybe the fbi
I got the same ridiculous e-mail on 11/5/2014. Sent to an email I never monitor. Just happened to think about checking it.
Gotta love the cartoon "State Attorney" seal they used on the "arrest warrant". These people never cease to amaze me.
SCAM SCAM SCAM!!!!
I went on the website for Miami, Florida United States District Court, and this is what it says:
You’ve received a warrant by fax or email saying a federal law enforcement officer or an attorney for the government wants to arrest you. Charges may be for money laundering or bank fraud, or missed jury duty. To avoid arrest, the warrant says, send money.
It’s a scam.
The warrants may display a bogus logo of an unspecified “United States District Court,” a case number, and various charges. Typically, recipients are instructed to call a number to get a “settlement” or to wire money to avoid arrest.
The warrant is phony. A valid warrant would not be served by fax or e-mail. It would be served in person by a U.S. Marshal or other law enforcement officer.
Anyone receiving a fake arrest warrant should contact the FBI or the district U.S. Marshals Office. If there is any question regarding the authenticity of a warrant, contact your district clerk of court.
The fake arrest warrants have been reported across the country, including in the District Courts for the Southern District of Ohio, Southern District of Illinois, New Mexico, Western District of Kentucky, Utah, the District of Columbia, and throughout Florida. Anyone demanding or obtaining money or anything of value while impersonating an officer or employee of the United States may be fined and/or imprisoned up to three years.
