CONCORD — Attorney General John M. Formella is warning residents about a surge in scam text messages falsely claiming to be from New Hampshire Courts.
The New Hampshire Department of Justice Consumer Protection and Antitrust Bureau has received numerous reports from consumers who have received text messages alleging that they have missed a court date or owe a fine. The messages often include what appears to be an official “notice of hearing” and directs recipients to click a link or submit payment to avoid further legal consequences.
