It has come to our attention that several individuals across the Commonwealth have received a text like this regarding a past fine due in Fairfax County. As a reminder, courts will never ask for money via text and all QR codes should be avoided as they can cause viruses to your electronic devices.

If you ever receive one of these or have concerns, it never hurts to reach out to the court and confirm if a fine actually does exist.

There have been numerous scam phone calls circulating around the area. The callers will pose as a member of the Albemarle County Sheriff's Office and inform the victim that they have missed court, have a warrant out for their arrest, or have missed some form of court appointment. The scammers have gone even further with the scam and have started creating fake court documents with the name of the person they're calling. (please see attached photo)

Just as a reminder, the Albemarle County Sheriff's Office will NEVER ask for payment of any kind over the phone to resolve any kind of issue. Furthermore, the sheriff's Office will not disseminate any form of court documents over text message to any involved party.
