Florida Court Clerks Issue Warning

Posted

Florida Court Clerks & Comptrollers (FCCC) has become aware of unauthorized and fraudulent activity involving the spoofing of the official website, www.PayFLClerk.com. A malicious actor has created look-alike domains and deceptive social media accounts in an attempt to mislead the public and redirect users to illegitimate platforms. 

 

Spoofed domains include:  

payflclerk(.)com(.)com 

www-payflclerk(.)com 

  

Fraudulent social media accounts include: 

Facebook: facebook(.)com/payflclerk 

Twitter/X: X(.)com/payflclerks 

 

 These spoofed websites and accounts mimic the visual identity of the official PayFLClerk payment platform and deceptively incorporate links to legitimate government agencies such as the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) and Toll-By-Plate, increasing the risk of user confusion and data compromise. 

FCCC is working closely with General Counsel John K. Londot, Esq., to investigate the matter, pursue takedown efforts, and notify impacted state agencies. Law enforcement and cybersecurity partners have also been alerted, and actions are being taken to safeguard Floridians from this ongoing threat. 

Important Reminder: 

FCCC urges Clerks, state agency partners, and the public to only use the verified and secure website, www.PayFLClerk.com, for all official court-related payments. Do not engage with suspicious domains or social media accounts.
