*** Public Alert: Scam Regarding Fraudulent Court Cases or Matters ***
There has been nationwide reporting of fake Notices of Electronic Filing (NEFs) being sent to attorneys and law firms across the country.
These fake NEFs are phishing attempts. Once a recipient replies to the email they are sent a follow-up email containing a link to access a document.
That document leads to a malicious website. We encourage all inquirers and court customers to take caution if they receive these fake NEFs.
Validate cases and case documentation through CM/ECF, do not download any attachments or click any links from unofficial or questionable sources.
If you receive an email, telephone call, or any other correspondence regarding a federal court case or matter of which you are unaware
or that contains suspicious documents causing you to question their validity, please contact the Clerk’s Office at 302-573-6170.
