Court Collection Scam Circulating

🚨 SCAM ALERT: “Court-Ordered Collection Notice” Scam Circulating 🚨

We are aware of a scam currently circulating that appears to be an official court document from the State of South Carolina. It may include a case number, judge’s name, and a QR code for payment.

These fake notices are designed to scare you into acting quickly by threatening:

• License suspension

• Court action

• Fines and penalties

• Credit impact

—

• Do NOT scan the QR code

• Do NOT click links or send payment

• Do NOT call numbers listed on the notice

If you are concerned about a legitimate issue, contact your court or agency directly using verified contact information, not what’s provided in the message.
