Judiciary Urges Public to Beware of Fake Summons Emails

The Judiciary on 9 October urged the public to beware of fake emails, saying an email was sent from the account [email protected] falsely claiming to be issued by the Registrar of the District Court and attaching a fake summons. The Judiciary stressed that the email and summons were not issued by it, had reported the matter to the police, and reminded the public not to open the email or follow its instructions. By 20 October, the Judiciary had received further enquiries from members of the public saying they had received similar fake emails falsely claiming to be issued by the Registrar of the District Court and attaching purported summonses, and again urged the public to be on guard and to contact the police if in doubt. The Judiciary said the emails were sent from different email domains, one of which was the account "[email protected]", stressed that neither the emails nor the summonses were issued by it, had reported the matter to the police, and reiterated that summonses are only served by post or by hand and are not issued electronically. The account mentioned in earlier reports was [email protected], while later reports said one of the accounts was [email protected].
