Overview

• Officials report fraudulent notices sent this week seeking payments for supposed court matters.
• One recent notice falsely claimed an arrest warrant that could be cleared by paying.
• The court will not resolve cases or request money by phone or text.
• Legitimate payments may be made by credit card or check, as the court does not accept Venmo, PayPal or Zelle and does not require cash only.
• Residents should confirm case numbers on the online Court Index, watch for out-of-state area codes, incorrect logos, odd formatting or misspellings, treat any first notice demanding a judgment as suspect, and contact the court in person or via numbers on its website if unsure.
