It has come to the attention of the Unified Court System that a scammer is distributing a fraudulent demand for a fine payment, typically via text messaging or emails.

Please be advised that the UCS does not impose fines via text, email, or social media. Nor does the Court System request personal or financial information in this manner. If you receive a suspicious message purportedly from a court, we urge you to check with the court clerk in your community.
