Notice of Electronic Filing Phishing Scam
The District of Idaho has received information that fake Notices of Electronic Filing (NEF) are circulating nationwide. If the recipient responds to the message, they are sent a follow-up email containing a link to access a document that leads the recipient to a malicious website.
The Judicial Conference of the United States requires that judges report any attendance at a privately funded educational program and also post this information on the court’s website. The Administrative Office of the United States Courts maintains an automated reporting system to capture the information. The Seminar Disclosures page provides a report from the reporting system for Idaho District judges. If the report on the Seminar Disclosures page indicates "No attendance reported" that means none of the judges from the District of Idaho attended any privately funded educational programs.
