The Court has become aware that individuals have been receiving false or “scam” email messages that have the appearance of coming from this Court, or one or more of its Judges, including from the Chief Judge. Many of these messages include statements regarding the payment or receipt of money or credit and debit cards. Neither the Court nor any of its Judges ordinarily transmit Court Orders or directives via individual emails outside of the Court’s formal and official Court docket, especially as to such financial matters. If you receive what appears to be such a Court Order or directive to your personal email, or an attachment including such a document, you should either review it with your personal legal counsel, or feel free to contact the U.S. Marshal for this District at 412-644-6628 in such regards. Please do not contact the Court or the Marshal via email regarding such matters.
