We have had reports that individuals have been engaging in a caller ID spoofing scam, using Superior Court phone numbers. No one from Superior Court will call you and ask for your personal information or request money. If you should get one of these calls, please hang up and try calling the number displayed in the caller ID to confirm the call is coming from where it says. The FCC website (https://www.fcc.gov/spoofing) is a great resource to learn more about caller ID spoofing including how to file a complaint if you think you have become a victim of a spoofing scam.
