"Fast Cash Services Legal Department for Debt Collection and Bank Fraud" Arrest Warrant Scams

It has been a while since I've seen one of these, but I like to check my spam for legitimate emails that might have accidentally been filtered there. This one dropped today, October 6th, 2020 around 8 AM Eastern. It's supposedly from Payday Recovery law.department@fastcashcalifornia.com. I "love" that they're now using the pandemic as a way to scam you since nothing else worked in the past. The text is below and I have left everything intact including their misspellings, grammar, etc.
