Important Notice for Individuals Attempting to Pay a U.S. District Court Violation Notice On-line: A fake website is currently impersonating www.cvb.uscourts.gov and may attempt to collect personal or financial information fraudulently. The only official website for paying a U.S. District Court Violation Notice is www.cvb.uscourts.gov. If you are paying online, please verify the web address carefully and report suspicious activity to the Central Violations Bureau (CVB) at 800-827-2982 or info@cvb.uscourts.gov. Alternatively, you may pay a ticket over the phone by calling the CVB at the same number.

WARNING: Bogus phone calls or emails regarding jury service may lead to fraud. Visit our Juror Scam Information webpage for more information.

WARNING: People are impersonating the U.S. Marshal Service and other law enforcement agencies telling individuals that they must pay money because they have an arrest warrant or they will be arrested. Visit our Arrest Warrant Scam Information webpage for more information.

WARNING: Fake text messages and emails claiming to be from the Courts regarding unpaid traffic violations or fines are part of a widespread nationwide phishing scam. These messages often use threatening language, official-looking seals, and fake case numbers demanding immediate payment via a QR code or link to avoid license suspension, arrest or court dates. Official court communications are sent exclusively via U.S. Mail, not text or email.
