If you receive a phone call from someone who is aggressively threatening to arrest you and demands payment of fines, hang up and report it, the U.S. Marshals Service advises.
The phone scam is currently circulating in the San Antonio area. The U.S. Marshals Service said Friday it has received reports of the scam targeting area doctor and physician offices.

The caller then tells the scam victim that they could avoid an arrest by paying a fine electronically or by cashier’s check.

Simply hang up and report the scam to law enforcement.Officials said if you think you have fallen victim to this scam, report the incident through the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center at
