Phone Scam Alert - Circuit Court "Fines"

Please be aware of an ongoing phone scam involving callers using a 667 area code phone number, falsely claiming to be a "representative" from the Queen Anne's County Circuit Court.

Scammers are telling victims that they or a loved one missed a court appearance, owe fines, and must make immediate payment to avoid arrest or having a warrant issued.

Remember:
• The Circuit Court and law enforcement agencies will NEVER demand immediate payment over the phone.
• Legitimate court matters are handled through official written notices and proper legal procedures.
• Do not provide personal information, banking information, gift card numbers, or electronic payments to unsolicited callers.
• Do not stay on the line with threatening callers.

If you receive one of these calls:
✔ Hang up immediately
✔ Do not send money
✔ Report the incident to your local law enforcement agency

Residents are encouraged to warn family members, especially elderly relatives, who are often targeted in these scams.

Stay alert and help protect our community by sharing this information.
