Iowa courts warn of scammers threatening arrest of unsuspecting former residents

DES MOINES – 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. The public should be aware 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.

People who want to inquire about a potential scam notice can do so by contacting the clerk of court in the county where the notice originated. A directory of clerk of court offices is on the Iowa Judicial Branch website at https://www.iowacourts.gov/court-directory/

Currently, the scam appears to target Iowans who have moved to another state.

You listen to Nancy and eat too much ice cream

Be forewarned that these scammers sound official and can easily con intelligent people. The one I heard about involved an almost unbelievable tale of crimes commited with a car supposedly rented in this person’s name. Call police or courthouse directly before falling for these scams.

Scammer Alert! Mitch McConnell needs that ‘wake-up’ slap upside his head. The economy needs stimulus. People need help in our most dire hour. Death toll bigger than WW2. And in less than a year not 5 years. 1) Shutdown for 30 days to stop the spread in hotspot states! 2) Send out stimulus. 3) Put your mask on and go sit down Mitch. You lost your way.

Nasty Nancy Pelosi is the one that has held up the stimulus checks, for several months.!!!!!!!!!!
