Real service vs email

Courts usually serve a summons in person or by mail; it has a real court name, case number, and response deadline. A random email with a 'view summons' link is a classic phishing/malware vector.

What to do

Don't open attachments or click links. Verify by contacting the named court directly (find its number yourself). If real, note the deadline and get advice.

FAQ

Can a court summons come by email?
