"Franklin Law Group" Court Notices and Loan Repayment Scams

Fake Franklin Law Group email court notices or notifications like the one below, which claim that the recipients will be served court notices to attend their district courts if they do not make payment on their total outstanding loan balances, should be ignored and deleted. This is because the fake email notices are just another scam being used by cyber criminals or scammers to trick and frighten their potential victims into sending them money by threatening legal actions. If potential victims respond to the fake email messages they will be subsequently asked by the scammers to send money in order to avoid arrest or to appear in court.

Remember, the United States government will never send warrants or legal notices via email messages. They would be served in person by a U.S. Marshal or other law enforcement officer. Anyone receiving a fake arrest warrant should contact the FBI or the district U.S. Marshals Office. If there is any question regarding the authenticity of a warrant, contact your district clerk of court.
