Public Alert: Beware of "Court" Scams

In various parts of the U.S., including Western Kentucky, citizens are being targeted by phone calls and emails threatening them with prosecution for failing to pay a bond or failing to appear for a subpoena, hearing, or jury service. In the calls and emails, recipients may be pressured to provide confidential data, potentially leading to identity theft and fraud. The recipients may be pressured to provide some sort of immediate payment to the caller.

These calls and emails are fraudulent and are not connected with the U.S. Courts. If you receive such a call, it is not a legitimate call from the U.S. District Court. The court does not require anyone to provide sensitive information or money over the phone or email. If you are unsure whether a given call or email is a scam, please contact the Clerk’s Office at one of our four locations.
