I just got a text from 786-284-1780 that said the following:
This is to inform you, that you are going to be legally prosecuted in the Court House within a couple of days. your SSN is put on hold by the US Federal Government, call me on 813-398-9798 ask for Nany Smith.
This follows a suspicious phone call from a spoofed number this morning stating that I was going to be arrested in a couple of days.
Legitimate process servers do not call to warn you, or to get money from you to stop the process. They will deliver the notification without warning.
(Here is more info than you really need on process serving:

Also, if you were threatened with an "arrest warrant" via a phone call or email, read this:
http://news.uscourts.gov/warning-arrest-warrant-scam
"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."
I recieved the following text message from Nancy Smith, "This is to inform you, that you are going to be legally prosecuted in the Court House within a couple of days. Your SSN is put on hold by the US Federal and to return the call at 909-666-5785.
