The Carson City Justice and Municipal Court was notified by concerned residents that they had received multiple calls from individuals who said they were calling as representatives from the court.
The concerned residents reported that the callers are attempting to solicit information and in one instance, the caller pretended to be a relative who was arrested and needed money to bailout or pay court fines and fees.
If you receive an email or telephone call claiming that you owe money or need to pay money from the Carson City Justice/Municipal Court or the First Judicial District Court consider it to be a scam.
Do not give callers your personal information. Hang up. If you are in doubt of whether or not you have a court matter, call the Carson City Justice Court Clerk's Office between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday at (775) 887-2121 option 4 or the First Judicial District Court Clerk’s Office between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. at (775) 887-2082 option 7.
