New Bankruptcy Scam Targeting Debtors: The scam involves a party calling a debtor using a spoofed number that appears to be from the bankruptcy court. The debtor is told they owe money to the court and can pay by Zelle.
The Bankruptcy Court will never contact a debtor by phone requesting payment. All payment notices will be sent by official mail, either from the Bankruptcy Noticing Center or the Court directly. Payments by Zelle are not allowed.
