Marshals Service in Washington state warns of a scam where fraudsters impersonate federal officials, sending fake arrest warrants via email or phone over claims of missed jury duty or other alleged offenses.

The Marshals Service and federal courts confirm they never contact individuals by phone or email to collect fines or accept such payments.
Victims are advised not to share personal or financial information and to verify legitimacy by contacting official offices directly.
