LNB NEWS: MoJ warns of telephone scam

The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) has warned the public of a telephone scam using the MoJ telephone number to convince people to hand over money to avoid going to court or paying a larger fine. 

Lexis®Library update: The MoJ has said that the MoJ or HM Courts & Tribunals Service will never ask anyone for card details on the phone, which is a clear sign it may be a scam.
