I got a call notifiying me that I'd failed to report to a federal jury summons and that someone must have signed my name and returned the certified letter. I was told I needed to pay the fines to freeze any warrants for my arrest. I've never been in trouble with the law, so this scam played into my fear of having any kind of legal issue, and it felt legit because I HAD received a county summons last month (which I will show for, of course). 

The fines were $4000, but this "law enforcement officer" got a sign off for "whatever I had in the bank" -$3700.  I would get it right back after the misunderstanding was straightened out with a signature verification test. Believe me, typing this out, it seems absolutely absurd and I feel like a total idiot.  I'm so ashamed that I fell for it.  It took me a good while to save the $3700 I lost.  It was my entire savings and I've had to borrow money from my elderly mother (who really doesn't have it to spare) to pay my bills, feed my child, and pay our health insurance.

I'm unable to sleep, and have cried non-stop since this happened.  I'm sick all the time thinking about how gullible I was and how I ignored what I see now were red flags all along.  If anyone can help me recoup my savings and help me give back to my mom, it would restore my faith, alleviate my humiliation (a little), and reinforce the fact that I believe there truly are more good people than the evil ones who steal from honest people.

Full transparency, I'm on GoFundMe too, trying any avenue I can to get back on my feet.  You'll never know how grateful I am to those who can give, but if you can't give, please put me on your prayer list. I would be just as grateful.  Thank you so much.

Finally, PLEASE be aware of this scam.  These guys were really good.
