SO here's the deal. These guys aren't even very good scam artists. I asked him what the case number was, and he gave me a bogus number—didn't follow any (WI) state nor federal case number formats. Then I asked him what state it was in, and he got that right. When I asked him what court jurisdiction it would be, he got flustered and hung up. I proceeded to call him multiple times over the course of a half hour, and now it just gives me a busy signal. Sounds like he just left the phone off the hook so he wouldn't have to deal with me. He said his name was "Jim" something, but he sounded more like Pradesh or something.
OBVIOUS scam, and not even skillful. All the same, I'll be contacting an old friend from my martial arts classes who became an assistant US attorney for this region.
