I saw this on Facebook from a friend from New Jersey . Beware bogus ‘arrest warrants’ in the mail http://cliffviewpilot.com/beware-bogus-arrest-warrants-in-the-mail/ "PUBLIC SAFETY: Con artists have been mailing bogus arrest warrants to people in an attempt to swindle them out of money, acting New Jersey Attorney General John J. Hoffman warned this morning. In addition to calling victims over the phone, scammers are mailing out the phony warrants that purport to be from state or federal authorities. In one of them (above), the letterhead says that the “warrant” was issued by the U.S. District Court and claims that the target is charged with criminal violations — including “collateral check fraud” and “theft by deception” –and faces “a maximum sentence of three years in prison and a fine of up to $24,000. It then directs the target to pay an “outstanding balance” of $1,876.48, and to call a phone number with a 609 area code to arrange for a payment plan."
