The San Diego Superior Court has received complaints about individuals trying to scam members of the public by pretending to be court officers or officials.
In the most recent example, individuals have received text messages stating that there are overdue Traffic Court fees in their name and if they do not pay the fees in a certain manner, additional action will be taken.
Scammers can be sophisticated and convincing, frequently changing their tactics. Past scams have included jury duty or warrants.
