URGENT - Notices of Electronic Filing (NEFs) Scam: Courts have been informed that fake Notices of Electronic Filing ("NEFs") are being sent to attorneys and law firms across the country, including in the Southern District of Indiana. These fake NEFs are phishing attempts to convince recipients to respond back to the emails. Once a recipient replies to the email they are sent a follow-on email containing a link to access a document that leads the user to a malicious website. Please take caution if you receive one of these fake NEFs. Cases and case documents should be validated through CM/ECF only. Do not download any attachments or click any links from unofficial or questionable sources.
