Law enforcement officials warn the public about a new scam involving fake messages and emails claiming to notify recipients of court dates, traffic tickets, warrants, or related legal matters.
Authorities emphasize that official notifications regarding legal issues are rarely sent through text messages or email. Recipients are advised to be cautious if they receive such messages.
Officials also recommend not clicking on any links or sending payments in response to these messages. People should verify the legitimacy of any legal notifications through official channels.
