Nationwide Notices of Electronic Filing (NEF) Scam

Wednesday, November 6, 2024

There has been nationwide reporting of fake Notices of Electronic Filing (NEFs) being sent to attorneys and law firms. 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-on email containing a link to access a document that leads the user to a malicious website. Please take caution if you receive a fake NEF.  Users should validate cases and case documentation through CM/ECF only.  Do not download any attachments or click any links from unofficial or questionable sources.

If you have any doubts about the validity of a NEF or have any questions, please contact the Court at (833) 758-0380.
