Judicial Scam Warning
(Salem, OR) -- There's a new scam involving messages from a court to avoid. It arrives by email or text message. An image claims to be an official legal document from the Circuit Court "traffic division" and says it's an "enforcement order" because the person is now in default for failing to pay electronic tolls, a parking violation or a speeding violation. It notes a hearing date and time but also provides a QR code to make a payment. The "Judge Michael Rodriguez" listed on the notice does not exist in any state court in Oregon. The same name is used in similar scams in other states. If you receive such a message, do not respond.
