The part that makes this one work is the flyer: it carries the department's real phone number and a real officer's photo, so it passes the checks people are told to do. Those details are public and easy to copy. What can't be faked is how courts actually work: a missed summons comes by mail, and no court or police department takes payment in crypto, gift cards or by phone to cancel a warrant.
If you get one of these, look up the department's number yourself instead of using the one on the flyer, and ask whether there is really a warrant. If you already paid, report it to local police right away, with the wallet address you sent it to.
