Aurora Municipal Court and Probation Department phone scam.

The Aurora Municipal Court urges the community to be vigilant regarding an active telephone impersonation scam. The impersonator identifies themself as a current Aurora Municipal Court Probation Officer.  Victims have reported being told that a warrant has been issued for their arrest. The victim is told they must pay money to avoid being arrested or detained by the Department of Immigration.   Victims are being instructed to purchase and send gift cards or send money grams.  The Courts will never call to collect a fine without first sending written documentation.  Likewise, court employees will never call to request payment for failing to appear in court.  Court employees and law enforcement will never make contact by phone or suggest meeting on the street, at a store, or a jail facility for a cash payment and will never ask anyone to wire money. We ask the community to be aware of these recent fraudulent activities and alert others of this concern.

If you receive a suspicious call from someone alleging to be an official of the Court, please report the information to your local police department and notify the Colorado State Attorney General’s Office of the activity by visiting their website at https://www.stopfraudcolorado.gov.
