Here is another scam - Original message - From: Recovery Services Date: 12/19/19 3:49 AM (GMT-10:00) To: jeremyyap64@gmail.com Subject: CIVIL ACTION NOTIFICATION Dear: Account repressive Tomorrow is your last chance to resolve this matter outside the courthouse. You are going to be legally prosecuted in the Court House within couple of days. Your SSN is put on hold by US Federal Government. I have all the proofs with all of your personal details in the affidavit with me. So before it gets downloaded inside the court house with the legal procedures in your name and on your social security number with hampering your credit ratings Just reply me back whether you want to put a hold on this case file and settle it outside the courthouse with the settlement amount and close it or else you want to take this matter inside the courthouse with the penalty fees and judge fees and courthouse fees and you may end up in a legal mess. In the event, if we do not receive your payment tomorrow then apart from getting laid off by your current employer after we send them the legal notice you will be blacklisted from getting any job. Through an IRS (Internal Revenue Service) your social security number will be put on hold causing severe damage to your credit history or credit report and your income paychecks will be put on hold. Any child support, disability, unemployment or retirement benefits will be either placed on hold or will be stopped until the outcome of the case. Our primary job was to notify you about the case before we send you legal document in the mail because once this case gets registered then we won't be able to help you out of court. Our client is the least interested in getting the money at this point as they want to just go ahead and start taking legal actions, however, we wanted to contact you and give your last chance to resolve this case out of court. If you take care of this out of court then we will release the clearance certificate from the court and we will make sure that no one will contact you in the future. Please let us know what your intention is by today itself so we can hold the case or else we will meet you in the courthouse. If you wish to settle the outstanding amount, please do not hesitate to contact us by email or call undersigned immediately. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Sincerely,

I just received this scam email today July 15, 2019 and they are demanding I pay 6,300$ to stop them from filing a lawsuit against me but they don’t say anything about what company they are representing or anything else that would allow me to identify the creditor or supposed debt.
They are definitely trying to scare people into paying because they mention buzz words that make people feel uncomfortable, for instance, they said things like “docket number and case number and then tried to sound official. At one point they threaten to have the sheriff show up at my house.

I received a similar email using the same verbiage, but from Credit Organization email was creditnavigatorsorg743@gmail.com on behalf of Revenue Discovery Systems. Clearly a scam.

I received an email from the financial crime legal department stating I owed money to cash advance in the amount of $1450. They wanted me to repay the money through iTunes cards. If I don't pay they will issue a warrant for my arrest on Friday at 8 am.

It is a scam. Legitimate companies or government agencies will never ask you to pay via iTunes cards.
