NOTICE ABOUT PHISHING SCAM: There has been nationwide reporting of fake Notices of Electronic Filing (NEFs) being sent to attorneys and law firms across the country. These fake NEFs look like they are coming from the Court’s electronic filings system. These fake NEFs are phishing attempts to convince recipients to respond back to the emails. Once a recipient replies to the email, they are sent a follow-up email containing a link to access a document that leads the user to a malicious website.

Please take caution when opening emails. If you believe that you have received these fake NEFs, validate cases and case documentation through CM/ECF only, and do not download any attachments or click any links from unofficial or questionable sources.
