Why don’t you just call the sheriff’s office and verify it?

I received a letter from the Lamar County DA’s ECU today telling me that I had been indicted by the Lamar County Grand Jury on a “Bad Check Law Violation” and as a result a Capias has been issued. It went on to say that arrest and incarceration can be avoided if I IMMEDIATELY contact the ECU and pay the check in question and related court costs, fees and assessments in full. The letter itself looks fake as the letterhead is a very blury photocopy of Lamar County Sheriff’s Office and has telephone numbers blackened out. The letter was mailed to me in Louisiana by James E Perry Warrants Division of Lamar County S.O.. I haven’t had a checking account in over 10 years so find this strange. Any ideas appreciated.
