U.S. Marshals Warn of Threatening Phone Scam

Concord, NH – Enoch “Nick” Willard, U.S. Marshal for the District of New Hampshire, wants the public to know that he will never call you directly regarding court matters, and he is angered at the imposter that is shamefully targeting innocent civilians in this manner.
The U.S. Marshals were alerted to a recent phone scam where the threat of a federal arrest warrant is being used to trick people into sending money.
“These callers are spoofing our office’s phone number and greeting people using my name to appear legitimate, but I assure you they are not” Willard said. “Nobody from the U.S. Marshals Service would ever ask for banking information, request wire transfers or payment via gift cards for any purpose, and we encourage people to hang up the phone and report the call immediately.”
The U.S. Marshals are urging people to report the calls to their local FBI office, and file a consumer complaint with the Federal Trade Commission, which has the ability to detect patterns of fraud from the information collected and share that data with law enforcement.
During these calls, con artists attempt to collect a fine in lieu of arrest for failing to report for jury duty or other offenses. Potential victims are given options f or satisfying payment to include purchasing a prepaid debit card or gift card and reading the account number over the phone or face certain arrest.
Scammers use many tactics to sound credible. They sometimes provide information like badge numbers, names of actual law enforcement officials and federal judges, and courthouse addresses. Deputy U.S. Marshal Andrew Grillo stated, “although it is not uncommon for law enforcement and court officials to reach out regarding court matters, they would never demand immediate payment of money to prevent arrest over the phone.”
