Court Scams on the Rise

Mon, 04 May 2026 05:01:00 GMT

Burleigh County has reported a new scam being sent to North Dakotans.

The scammers have sent an image (see the example below) telling recipients to pay a fine or they will be required to appear before the court.

Scammers can be aggressive and demanding. Remember that state courts or local law enforcement agencies will never call and threaten an individual or demand immediate payment—either over the telephone or money wire service—for fines or for not responding to a traffic citation.

Be aware of any caller demanding immediate payment of alleged court fines or threatening arrest.

If you receive a call demanding payment of a fine:

Do not give out credit card information or make a payment.
Do not share any personal information, such as your social security number.
Report the call to your local law enforcement agency.
