Recently, the Washington State
Attorney General's Office issued a warning to the public about scammers
posing as being from the Washington State Supreme Court Clerk demanding money
and threatening arrest. The scammers seem to be targeting individuals with
Hispanic last names.
The scammers use fake caller ID information making it seem
like the calls were from the Supreme Court clerk’s office. Callers claimed that
they were from the courts or law enforcement. They also threatened arrest if
the victim did not send money.
The Attorney General’s Office recommends that if you receive
a call like this hang up. Do not given in to high-pressure tactics, threats, or
bullying. No one from the Supreme Court will call you to demand payment or
threaten arrest.
Also, please let your friends know about this scam, especially
if they are Hispanic.
