The e-mail is stupid on its face. Why would a private attorney know anything about any sort of prosecution prior to the event? Prosecutions are carried out by public prosecutors. Private attorneys have nothing to do with what a prosecutor will or will not due. Only judges issue warrants and in federal cases they are only issued against persons ALREADY indicted by a grand jury who have not turned themselves in. Warrants in federal cases are only served in hand by duly constituted US Marshals.
I just received an email from an Attorney Steven Brown with an attached Arrest Warrant. There is nothing in the email stating what I am being accused of, except this huge, specific amount of money I supposedly owe. While the Arrest Warrant looks official with the United States District Court seal, my name or anyone else for that matter, does not appear on it plus the word signature is spelled incorrectly. The email letter, itself, is very poorly written by the supposed Attorney, Mr. Brown, and uses a hotmail address rather than Mr. Brown's office or professional address. I will consequently be doing some research and filing a complaint with several parties, including federal agencies, in hopes that with enough people complaining, they will be able to stop this person and bring him to justice. What this person is doing is illegal and criminal activity.
