FRAUD ALERT! Please Share: U.S. Marshals District of Nevada Office is warning of a new scam targeting Nevada residents over the telephone. The fraud involves individuals identifying themselves as U.S. Marshals and threatening citizens with arrest, unless an immediate fine is paid over the telephone, for missed jury service. The Marshals Service became aware of the scam after receiving several calls from alert citizens. The U.S. Marshals Service is a federal law enforcement agency and does not seek payment of fines or fees via the telephone for individuals with outstanding arrest warrants. The U.S. Marshals Service urges individuals not to divulge personal or financial information to unknown callers and highly recommends the public report similar crimes to the FBI or their local police department if they are the victims of fraud.
