CARSON CITY, NV — The Supreme Court of Nevada warned Monday that a fake notice claiming to be a “Final Notice-Court Enforcement Action” from the State of Nevada is circulating online and through electronic communications.
According to a notice from the court system, the document is not legitimate and was not issued by any Nevada court or state agency. Officials said the fraudulent notice uses official-sounding language, including references to the Justice Court of the County of Clark Traffic Division, and threatens severe legal consequences such as license suspension, financial penalties and collections activity.
The notice may also include a QR code or payment link designed to create urgency and pressure recipients into acting immediately, court officials said. The Supreme Court of Nevada said courts do not issue legal notices in that manner and do not demand payment through QR codes or unsolicited electronic messages.
Officials urged anyone who receives the notice or something similar not to scan QR codes, click links or provide personal or financial information, and to delete the message immediately. Anyone with concerns about a traffic citation or court matter was told to contact the appropriate court directly using official contact information.
Presumption of Innocence: A presumption of innocence means that any defendant in a criminal trial is presumed to be innocent until they have been proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. The defendant in this case is only accused of the charges set forth in the criminal complaint. They are innocent until proven guilty.
