The Superior Court of Alameda County has issued a warning about a scam that involves text messages claiming individuals have unpaid traffic citations. Officials confirmed that the court does not contact the public through texts regarding payments. Residents are urged to report scams and be cautious of suspicious links to prevent identity theft. This scam follows previous alerts about jury duty payment scams and highlights the prevalence of fraud, as many receive similar fake messages regularly.
"The Alameda County court confirmed it does not contact the public through text messages to make payments for traffic citations."
"As soon as you get to the website, there is a button there that says 'pay your traffic fine.'"
"There is so much fraud that a lot of people cannot distinguish fraud from reality," said Sandi Bethune.
"We don't want people to get duped into giving out information that can lead to identity theft," said Paul T. Rosynsky.
