These sophisticated scams involve callers pretending to be U.S. Marshals, federal court officials, or other law-enforcement authorities to intimidate victims into paying fraudulent fines or revealing sensitive personal information. With tactics becoming more convincing and widespread, the public is being urged to stay vigilant and informed.

These scammers typically use high-pressure strategies designed to create fear and panic. Many victims report receiving calls claiming they have missed jury duty, violated a federal order, or are under investigation. To avoid immediate arrest or legal consequences, they are instructed to pay fines using gift cards, prepaid debit cards, wire transfers, or even cryptocurrency — all major red flags. In some cases, scammers spoof official phone numbers, making the caller ID appear legitimate, and may even mention real names of judges or officials to seem more credible.

The U.S. Marshals Service emphasizes that no legitimate federal agency will ever call you to demand payment, especially over the phone. They will never ask for gift cards, crypto, or wire transfers as a form of settlement. Additionally, they will not threaten arrest without prior official documentation or in-person communication. Any caller making such demands is guaranteed to be a scammer.

One of the most concerning trends is how realistic these fraudulent calls have become. Advances in technology allow scammers to mimic government phone lines and manipulate caller ID to appear official. As a result, more individuals — including professionals, seniors, and even business owners — are falling victim. These scams have already led to significant financial losses across multiple states.

Authorities advise the public to immediately hang up if they receive such a call. Do not share personal details, financial information, or confirm your identity. Instead, independently contact your local U.S. District Court or local law-enforcement agency using verified phone numbers found on official websites. Reporting the incident to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) also helps track and combat these nationwide fraud schemes.

The U.S. Marshals Service stresses that strong awareness is the best defense. By spreading information and educating family members — especially elderly relatives — people can prevent further financial damage and protect others from falling victim. With scam tactics continuing to evolve, staying alert, calm, and skeptical of unsolicited legal threats is crucial.
