Does anyone know which federal agency sent out this out? It was posted on popville.

“Please be advised that the US Marshals Service is recommending that federal employees evacuate from federal facilities today no later than 3 PM Eastern time (or your equivalent local time).”

This isn’t real. We would have received it at my office if it was. Edit: and it would never say “evacuate.” These messages never have that kind of sensationalist language.

Even when they should have that sort of language, like that snowstorm a few years back.

I have yet to see any proof that it's actually real. Not the first time that Popville has been punked. Absolutely nothing about it on the OPM site.

Yea. US marshalls is a weird source, I've never seen them issue anything general like that. If anything, federal protective service would send that out. And I'm not aware of fps ever doing that either.

Which federal agency sent it out? The department of making shit up on the internet.

I tried to get a job there last year, but the stupid USAJobs site is so awful.

that's pretty obvious BS. Popville is a joke as a news source. Usually it's fun to mock the site and its commenters as a relatively harmless haven of hapless urban naïfs, but this seems harmful and clearly intended to stir trouble.

I know that USCP has not sent out any such alert.

I didn’t get this message. Marshals in my building said to clear by 6 but it didn’t seem super urgent the way it has been in the past.

Going to call bullshit on this. Not going to name my employer but it is someplace that would be in the know to this. This post is categorically false and misinformation.
