cash\u2014and threaten consequences if they don\u2019t pay up fast.<\/p>\n<p>State Attorney General Rob Bonta issued a consumer alert on Monday warning Californians about a surge in fraudulent messages pretending to be official court communications, claiming recipients owe money for traffic or toll violations.<\/p>\n<p>The messages\u2014often sent via text or email\u2014try to scare victims into paying bogus fines immediately or risk facing penalties, court appearances or other consequences.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese notices are scams,\u201d Bonta said, warning that crooks are exploiting fear

class=\"single__inline-module aligncenter wp-block-nypost-editor-primary-tag\">\n<\/aside>\n<p>\u201cCourts will never text, call, or email to ask for money,\u201d Bonta said, urging Californians to be skeptical of any messages demanding payment or personal information. <\/p>\n<p>Scammers often include links or QR codes directing victims to fake-payment portals\u2014a tactic authorities say can expose financial details or install malware.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of asking people to click on anything, the messages urge people to verify any tickets directly through official court websites or by calling the court using a trusted number.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The scheme typically follows a familiar playbook: A message claims drivers owe money for a traffic or toll violation and pressures them to act immediately while including a payment link or QR code with instructions. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cScammers will weaponize urgency and make you feel like you are in the wrong,\u201d Bonta warned.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Authorities tell anyone who receive a suspicious message not to click on the links or scan QR codes. Recipients should not send money or share personal information, but instead delete the message and report it to the FBI, Federal Trade Commission or the state attorney general\u2019s office.<\/p>\n<div class=\"single__inline-module inline-module inline-module--newsletter aligncenter inline-module--nypostbusinessunit aligncenter wp-block-nypost-editor-newsletter\" data-source-unit=\"Inline Newsletter Module Cali - Morning Report\">\n<div class=\"inline-module__inner\">\n<div class=\"inline-module__title-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"inline-module__unsubmitted-title-wrapper\">\n<h3 class=\"inline-module__title headline headline--combo-sm-md\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSign up for the California Morning Report newsletter\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n<p class=\"inline-module__cta\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCalifornia&#8217;s top news, sports and entertainment delivered to your inbox every day.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"inline-module__title headline headline--combo-sm-md\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThanks for signing up!\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Anyone who may have already clicked a link or entered information should immediately secure their accounts and dispute any unfamiliar charges.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Officials say text-based scams\u2014including fake toll notices, delivery alerts and now court demands\u2014have been on the rise and that tactics continue to evolve.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBad actors are getting more\u00a0sophisticated and show little signs of slowing,\u201d Bonta said in a statement earlier this month. <\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Download The California Post App, follow us on social, and subscribe to our newsletters <\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p><strong>California Post News<\/strong>: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, WhatsApp, LinkedIn<br \/><strong>California Post Sports<\/strong> Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X<br \/><strong>California Post  <\/strong>Opinion <br \/><strong>California Post Newsletters<\/strong>: Sign up here!<br \/><strong>California Post App<\/strong>: Download here!<br \/><strong>Home delivery<\/strong>: Sign up here!<br \/><strong>Page Six Hollywood<\/strong>: Sign up here!<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async defer src=\"https:\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
