Iowa Clerks of Courts are responding to people who have received collection notices that falsely claim to be from the Iowa Judicial Branch or a clerk of court. The letters warn the individuals that if payments are not made to the 1-800 number on the notice, the person’s driver’s license would be suspended and an arrest warrant may be issued. Marion County Attorney Ed Bull tells KNIA/KRLS News that these notices are a scam and are not from the Iowa Judicial Branch. The Iowa Judicial Branch does not have a 1-800 number for paying court fines and fees. Bull also says that this is a slight twist on an old scam. But it is a scam nonetheless. No one from law enforcement or the court system is ever going to call you on the phone and demand money or threaten you with incarceration. When in doubt, hang up.
