Scam emails
Please note that members of the public have received fraudulent e-mails using the UK Supreme Court's name, address and telephone number.
They also sometimes list a member of staff that can be contacted, none of whom exist.
The UK Supreme Court will not send e-mails to any member of the public about a legal matter, unless their case was scheduled to come before the Court, which could only occur if the matter has already been heard at the High Court and/or the Court of Appeal.
These e-mails take different forms, but they usually ask the recipient to click on a link, which could leave a device more vulnerable to a virus or other malware.
We strongly recommend that you do not click on any links, delete the e-mail and block any future messages from that source.
If you have already clicked on the enclosed link, then we suggest you scan your phone/computer for possible viruses.
Please note that the Supreme Court is not able to provide any specific technical advice.
There may be other e-mails and/or documents purporting to be about job offers, property or inheritance, none of which are valid. The UK Supreme Court has nothing to do with financial transactions of this kind.
