*****FRAUD ALERT*****

 Fraudulent Text Messages Seeking Payment for Non-Existent Violations

Scammers have been sending people fake text messages that have been made to look like texts from the City of Phoenix or the Phoenix Municipal Court.  The texts falsely claim that a “speed monitoring camera" has recorded a person speeding in a school zone and that the phony speeding violation can be handled by visiting or linking to a phony website to make payment, instead of appearing in court.

If you receive this text, or a similar one, DO NOT VISIT THE WEBSITE, DO NOT MAKE PAYMENT, AND IMMEDIATELY DELETE IT.  For any case in the Phoenix Municipal Court, the Court will never seek or request payment by text or email.  If you are unsure about any communication you have received seeking payment for a traffic violation, or other offense that is asserted to be in the Phoenix Municipal Court, please call the Court at (602) 262-6421.    

Always question any phone call, text, or email that:

  • asks for credit/debit card/gift card numbers, wire transfers, or bank routing numbers, for any purpose.
  • requests you make a payment through a pay app site such as Venmo, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Square, PayPal, etc.
  • asks you to provide any sensitive, or personally identifying information like your date of birth or social security number.

The fake text messages described above are not connected with either the City of Phoenix, or the  Phoenix Municipal Court in any way, whatsoever.​​
