Default Important----scam alert
Everyone please beware. I just received a phone call from someone impersonating a federal marshal who informed me I had an outstanding arrest warrant for contempt of court for failure to appear to serve on a federal grand jury.

These people were VERY, VERY GOOD. Do not get sucked in. It took me over 10 minutes to ferret them out, and I'm pretty savvy. I called the federal courthouse in Ocala and they are aware of this scam. I tried reporting it to Sumter co. Sheriff's office, who gave me to seniors vs. crime---they have received 8 or 9 calls about this scam in the last hour, but unfortunately can't really do anything. So be careful.
