A News4Jax viewer recently received an email, stating that he was under investigation for conspiracy to commit health care fraud and needed to be in court in just a few days.

The email had a couple of grammar errors, which seemed suspicious, so instead of clicking on the attached document, he called the State Attorney's Office.

They said the email was a scam.
