Earlier today I was called from strange number and the person on the other end of the line explained that a lawsuit had been filed against me, there was a warrant for my arrest, AND that I was to appear in court.

If memory serves, I have done nothing wrong except maybe dabble with some "pirates on a bay" (wink wink). If I were getting in trouble for that, then I should have at least gotten a letter of notification that my activity was monitored and to stop. Hell, the most that probably should've happened was my Internet getting pulled.

The voice on the other line was male, and sounded an a lot like a pre-recorded message. The caller gave me a number to call if I had any questions regarding the lawsuit or arrest, then hung up. /r/AskReddit deduced it to a simple scam attempt, but I came here just in case.
