JCPC Impersonation Scams

We have been made aware of an increase in scammers contacting people using the details of the JCPC and other government departments to extort money.

Scammers will:

• Claim that you are involved in a legal case with the court, but this is not true - you will know if you have a legal case with the Court.
• Clone genuine phone numbers to make threatening calls asking for money. In some cases, people have been asked to look up the Court's website to 'verify' that the number they are being called from is a real phone number.
• Use The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council's name, logo, names of people who work for the JCPC, our address and telephone number, which will make them look very convincing.
• Use genuine looking email addresses. Emails from the Court will only ever come from addresses ending supremecourt.uk
• Say the Court are working with HMRC, local councils, the police or UK Visa and Immigration, to demand money and threaten arrest. We do not work with these organisations or arrest people.

Do not disclose your personal details or pay any money to anyone contacting you claiming to be from the Court.
