Nationwide Notices of Electronic Filing (NEFs) Scam

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. If you receive a NEF that you believe to be fake, please contact the court and DO NOT download any attachments relating to the bogus email message. You can validate cases and case documentation through CM/ECF.
