Scammers are trying to use the San Diego Superior Court to bilk people out of money with fraudulent court orders and other fake court documents, prompting court officials to warn the public to carefully scrutinize these phony requests for cash.

Court officials said scams involving fraudulent court orders or other court documents were being sent to people as recently as this week.

Individuals are receiving fake court notices soliciting payments for a variety of purported court-related purposes, according to court authorities.

One recent incident involved a fake notice of an outstanding arrest warrant that the person was told they could clear by providing a payment. Similar scams from earlier this year sought money to pay traffic court fees or fines for missing jury duty.
