HOUSTON COUNTY: This morning while eating breakfast, my wife’s phone rang. When she answered it a recording came on and stated that it was the U.S. Marshal Service and that she had criminal activity in her name and she would have to press 1 to speak to someone about getting it resolved or heavy legal action would be taken.
First off the U.S. Marshal Service won’t call you just knock on your door. This same scam has been also been done using the Dothan Police Department and the Houston County Sheriff’s Office.
If any Law Enforcement calls you out of the blue, get a name and number and call that agency to confirm before sending any money or giving any information.
Again be aware of multiple scams going on right now and report any using law enforcement to your closes agency.
