TELE readers have reported receiving scam calls purporting to be from Edinburgh Sheriff and Justice of the Peace Court.
The false calls claim that 'outstanding payments' are being pursued.
A spokesperson from the court said: "This is a scam and should be ignored.
"We do not proactively call people threatening action over national insurance, unpaid fines or debts."
