The Utah Judiciary is aware of a scam involving text messages that falsely appear to come from the courts and demand payment through links or QR codes. These messages are not legitimate - courts do not request payments this way, and individuals should not respond or provide any personal or financial information. More Info

  • Your name does not match
    • Look at your court papers and make sure your name is entered correctly
    • Try leaving out your middle name
  • Court location is wrong
    • Look at your court papers to see if your case is in a district court or a justice court
