California Superior Local Rules

Any telephone contact by real court officials do not include requests for social security numbers, credit card numbers, or any other sensitive information. Jury duty is a vital civic responsibility and should be taken seriously by all citizens. However, it is a crime for anyone to falsely represent himself or herself as a court official. The Hon.

Charles Margines, Presiding Judge of the Orange County Superior Court, urges citizens to not provide any information, especially personal identifying information such as their social security numbers or bank and credit card account numbers, in response to these illegal solicitations. If citizens receive any such communications, they are urged to contact their local law enforcement agencies immediately.
