A text message scam falsely claiming to represent the South Carolina Circuit Court and the Fifth Judicial Circuit Solicitor’s Office has been reported. These messages falsely inform recipients they have pending criminal/traffic violations requiring immediate payment. These notifications are not issued by Richland County, the Solicitor’s Office, the State of South Carolina or any other government entity. Richland County Magistrates do not communicate outstanding matters via text message and do not request payments in this manner.
