I got this email yesterday and it scared the crap out of me. There isn't a phone number in the email at all to call to see if this is even legit:

                                          Garnishment Notification and Arrest Notice

CASE FILE #: UD-07165A

Date: February 28th 2017

Settlement Amount: $500.00
Employer Name: xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Account Details: Bank of America, xxxxxxxxxxxx, xxxxxxxxxxxx

Social Security Number: xxxxxxxxx

Driving License Number: xxxxxxx and State MD

Dear: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,

Address: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
City: Hagerstown,
State: MD,
Zip: 21740.

This letter is to notify you that we have received a Summons of Garnishment on your wages. This means that someone you owe money to has been awarded a judgment by the court for payment of the debt. The court has ordered us, your employer, to deduct

50% percent of your disposable earnings and make payment to the court on your behalf. The following applies to you:

Before you are arrested
If you pay in full, or make a part-payment before you are arrested, the warrant will be recalled and amended. However, it will be immediately re-issued if the debt is not paid in full. After you are arrested. Once the warrant has been served, your only options are to serve the time in prison or pay the debt (plus costs) in full at the Court house with the help of Money Gram.
If you want to stop the garnishment deductions from your paycheck, you must obtain a release or pay the entire amount you owe with the help of Money Gram in order to close this account.

Why am I receiving this notice?

On January 28th 2016   Wee received a garnishment order from a court to [freeze/remove] funds in your account. The amount of the garnishment order was for $750. We are sending you this notice to let you know what we have done in response to the garnishment order. You can contact your creditor for settlement amount.

What is garnishment?

Garnishment is a legal process that allows a creditor to remove funds from your [bank]/[credit union] account to satisfy a debt that you have not paid. In other words, if you owe money to a person or company, they can obtain a court order directing your bank Bank of America  to take money out of your account to pay off your debt. If this happens, you cannot use that money in your account.

If you have any questions about the garnishment, you should contact the persons named on the included Summons of Garnishment by email.

Sincerely,
Jonathan McNichols

    These scammers are so stupid very dumb [***]. First of all once it reaches in the hands of the court no transaction can be carried outside of the court not only that but  also matter of such the accused would have been notified with a letter. The most stupid thing about this is that they mentioned Western Union MoneyGram etc. Such dumb dumb [***]'s. These [***] were gifted with stupidity.

    I got the same email. I knew it was a scam not just from the misspelling but also because i left my last place of employment on good terms. Just to double check though i contacted my former employer whom this lawsuit was supposed to be from. There was no knowledge of this situation. I was thankful for that. So please disregard these shenanigans, but do keep a close eye on your accounts to ensure that your funds aren't taken and no new accounts are opened.

    I got the same email they had a Po box 93 Hubbard TX 76648  and then they said the court has ordered to take 50 percent of my wages Ace on line these people are a bunch of scammers and should be locked up and by the way if you owe anyone money and they take you to court they have to serve you at your address not email.

    Received the same email with the same case file number. How can they use the same case file number for everyone. Makes no sense. Allso any links they sent in the email say file error. Mine was signed by Frank Dollard.  I hate all the technology that we have today, makes it hard to figure out what is real or which is fraud.

    Hi everyone, you all saying this makes me feel very good. I knew it to be a scam immediately as well. However, should we be contacting the FBI? My email didn't have a bank account # but they have my address, social, and DL #.

    Is them having all 3 of those cause for concern?

    I received that same email to fr Johnathan mcnichols. If the cops want you they coming, not send an email. I sent them an email telling them I knew it was a scam and will report them to the authorities. Be safe everyone. If you're not sure Google they're name and all kinds of stuff pops ip

    YES- these emails are NOT REAL. First thing you should do anytime you get an email that seems suspicious is LOOK AT WHO SENT IT TO YOU! This email is from, recoveryservicesfordebt@gmail.com ... no legit company sending a notice such as this would ever be sending it from a Gmail account- not to mention, as a couple people already said, they would not be sending emails to begin with. Debt collectors are NOT ALLOWED to disclose information like this via email, as it isn't secure and they cannot be sure the intended party is going to receive it which, would get a legit company/agency in a lot of trouble. It would also put them at risk of breaching privacy and harassment laws that would bank them from collecting said debt, as well as being ordered to pay the debtor for damages.
    Besides all this, they can NEVER threaten arrest! At most, you could be sued for monies owed to a company, but you cannot be arrested because you owe $500-750 to anyone. Guys, look up debt collection laws in your state and inform yourselves on what is and isn't legal. This email is bogus from beginning to end and honestly, it kind of amazes me that anyone could even suspect it to be real.

    Poor [***] should've done a little due diligence before sending that to me ... here's my reply:

    "I'll take my chances in court Sunshine.

    You can serve my subpoena to me at my office at Homeland Security. I'm in the Legal Division but I'm usually out of court around 1pm.

    btw: you're now on our radar ... and dummy gmail addresses haven't been a good way to hide identity for around 6 years

    See ya soon Slappy!"
