Fraudulent process servers contact the law firm or client, claiming to be a legitimate process server or legal professional, and inform them that they must deliver legal documents or serve legal papers. The scammers often attach outstanding fees or fines that must be paid before the documents can be served, defrauding the clients and law firms into providing sensitive personal and financial information. Such scammers often use fake websites, email addresses, or phone numbers to add credibility to their claims & clients. Law firms must be vigilant and cautious against such claims, as one of the panelists on the Law 2.0 Conference's stage emphasized.
