Missouri courts are warning residents of scammers trying to spoof its website Casenet.
Casenet is the website where the public can view charges, court documents and other public information as well as pay fines for traffic tickets. Missouri courts gave the warning in a press release on its website.
The official Casenet can be accessed online at https://www.courts.mo.gov and https://www.courts.mo.gov/casenet/.
Wednesday’s press release says scammers are spoofing the website with a fake url containing “Casenetmo.us,” as well as others including:
mo-casenet.us
casenetmo.net
mo-case.net
casenetmonet.website3.me
www-casenetmo.us
The release says the fake websites may contain malware or viruses. Law enforcement is investigating.
“These other websites are not managed by or affiliated with the Missouri courts. It is unclear at this time whether they pose similar dangers. The investigation remains ongoing,” the release says.
Court administrators can be reached at (888) 541-4894 or by email at OSCA.Help.Desk@courts.mo.gov.
