COURT SCAM

Residents of Southern California have reported receiving  fraudulent email messages instructing them to appear before the Superior Court of California for the County of San Bernardino. The fraudulent email messages contain a Notice of Appearance stating that the recipient has been scheduled to appear in the Court of San Bernardino. The email further states that should the recipient fail to appear at the scheduled time, the hearing may proceed and a judge may rule in the case in their absence. The Superior Court of California for the County of San Bernardino never gives notice of court hearings or other proceedings via email. If you have received such an email, contact the Court Executive Office, 303 West Third Street, 4th Floor, San Bernardino, California 92415. at 909-708-8747.
