Public Notice of Notices of Electronic (NEF) Filing Scam.

There has been nationwide reporting of fake Notices of Electronic Filing (NEFs) being sent to attorneys and law firms across the country. These fake NEFs are phishing attempts to convince recipients to respond back to the emails. Once a recipient replies to the email, they are sent a follow-up email containing a link to access a document that leads the user to a malicious website. Please take caution if you receive these fake NEFs, validate cases and case documentation through CM/ECF only, and not to download any attachments or click any links from unofficial or questionable sources.

CM/ECF Change Effective August 1, 2022 – Motion to Modify Plan After Confirmation.[05/05/2022]
Effective December 1, 2023, the Director of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts has designated any entity that has been sent 25 or more paper bankruptcy notices in a single calendar month as a high-volume paper notice recipient pursuant to Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9036(b)(2)(B) (as amended effective December 1, 2021) (the “Rule”). The threshold number of paper notices that will cause a notice recipient to be designated as a high-volume paper notice recipient pursuant to the Rule will be reviewed annually and may be adjusted once a year, effective on December 1st of each year.

Once the threshold paper notice amount is reached, the Bankruptcy Noticing Center (BNC) will notify the notice recipient that it must register for Electronic Bankruptcy Noticing (EBN) or that, if the recipient does not register within 45 days of the date of the notification, the BNC will establish an electronic address where the Director designates the recipient to receive its notices pursuant to the Rule.

To avoid any delays or inconvenience that may arise due to the enforcement of the Rule, high-volume paper notice recipients are encouraged to go here to register for EBN.[11/2/2023]
