Scam warning from the Kansas Attorney General

Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach is warning consumers to be vigilant regarding a sophisticated email scam impersonating the U.S. District Court. Kobach said, “Kansans should never respond to unsolicited emails claiming to be official court summons-these are sophisticated scams designed to steal personal information or infect devices with malware. State and federal courts do not serve legal documents via email, and clicking links or opening attachments in these fraudulent messages can have serious consequences. My office is committed to protecting consumers from these deceptive tactics, and I urge anyone who receives such an email to report it so we can hold these criminals accountable.
