Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach is warning about a new email scam impersonating the U.S. District Court, delivering malware disguised as a federal court summons. Kansans are receiving emails threatening legal consequences if they do not respond to the fake civil case summons. State and federal courts do not serve legal documents via email, and responding to these fraudulent messages can lead to personal information theft or malware infection. Recipients should not click on links or open attachments in emails with subject lines like “Legal Compliance Required: Court Case #USDC-2026-[Number].” Reporting these scam emails to the Federal Trade Commission and the Kansas Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division is crucial to shutting down these deceptive operations.
