Nationwide Notices of Electronic Filing (NEFs) Scam

Wednesday, November 6, 2024

There has been nationwide reporting 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. Please use caution if you receive fake NEFs. Validate cases and documents through CM/ECF only and do not download any attachments or click any links from unofficial or questionable sources.

NEFs from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Colorado are always sent from this email address: [email protected]

Further, all NEF subject lines will include the complete case number and document title. Please don't hesitate to contact the Clerk's Office to verify the legitimacy of a NEF at (720) 904-7300 or through the Court's Live Chat system.
