🚨 SCAM ALERT — FAKE COURT NOTICE 🚨

This image is NOT a real legal document. It is a fraudulent notice designed to scare people into paying money or sharing personal information.

Scammers are increasingly using fake court letters, traffic violations, and official-looking documents to appear legitimate. Always verify any legal notice directly through official government channels before taking action.

⚠️ Stay vigilant:
• Do not scan unknown QR codes
• Do not send payments without verification
• Contact your local court or authority directly

Help spread awareness and protect others from falling victim to these ongoing scams.
