It has come to our attention that members of the public are receiving fraudulent calls from a number pretending to be the Criminal Courts of Justice in Dublin.
The caller is claiming to be a member of the Gardaí, stating that the person's ID was stolen and that criminal charges and fines are in their name. The fraudster is providing a false Garda name and ID number. They are asking for PPS, bank or credit card details.
The Courts Service will never ring anybody asking for PPS, banking or credit card details
If you receive such a call, please:
- Do not engage with the caller
- Do not share any part of your PPS Number, credit card details, bank card details, bank account details, or any other personal information with them.
