Fraud Alert: Fake Notice of Electronic Filing Emails

Wednesday, November 6, 2024

Attorneys nationwide have reported receiving fake Notices of Electronic Filing (NEFs), including several in the Eastern District of Louisiana. The Judiciary’s Administrative Office has confirmed that these emails are phishing attempts intended to convince recipients to respond. Once a recipient replies to the email, the scammer sends a follow-up message with a link to a purported document that instead leads to a malicious website. 

Please take caution before clicking on any links in emails purporting to be NEFs.  Legitimate NEF emails from our Court will be from the address efile_notice@laed.uscourts.gov and will never include attached files. Do not download attachments or click on any links from unofficial or questionable sources, including any email address with text following “.gov.”  If in doubt, please use the Court’s website or PACER to access CM/ECF directly to verify the legitimacy of the notice.

The Court further recommends that users block the sender domain "uscourts.gov.ecf.digital" and “uscourts.gov.cmecf.digital” on their email systems to prevent further exposure to this particular scam. If you have received one of these emails, the Court recommends that you delete it from your account entirely. 

Please contact the CM/ECF help desk with any questions at (504) 589-7788 or toll free at (866) 209-7767.
