Nationwide Notices of Electronic Filing (NEFs) Scam

Wednesday, November 6, 2024

Attention all ECF Filers: The Court has been advised by our Administrative Office of reports of fake Notices of Electronic Filing (NEFs) being sent to attorneys and law firms across the country. 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. You are encouraged to take caution if you receive what appears to be a fake NEFs by validating case and case documentation through CM/ECF only.  Do not download any attachments or click any links from unofficial or questionable sources.
