SC urges public to verify court documents amid fraud concerns
Published on

BAGUIO CITY — A public advisory was issued by the Supreme Court urging individuals and organizations to exercise caution and verify the authenticity of court-related documents and communications.

This warning comes amid reports of individuals falsely claiming to represent courts or judicial bodies.

SC spokesperson Atty. Camille Ting, in a press conference, emphasized that all official court documents are issued through verified email addresses, which can be confirmed on the websites of the High Tribunal or the relevant appellate and trial courts.

She said that for trial courts specifically, verification can also be obtained directly from the court or through the Supreme Court’s official portal.

Ting said the advisory was issued amid a growing trend of fraudulent activity, with some individuals impersonating court officials or fabricating legal documents. The judiciary has called on the public to remain vigilant and to double-check any suspicious communications.

“We urge everyone to stay alert and always verify the authenticity of court-related documents or announcements,” Ting said.

Ting said those who encounter dubious materials or individuals are encouraged to report them to the judiciary for investigation.

The judiciary has assured the public that it is taking steps to address these issues and protect the integrity of legal processes.

The public was advised to rely only on official channels for court-related information and to report any irregularities promptly.
