FARMINGTON — The Maine Judicial Branch issued a scam alert Friday saying it had been advised of “at least one” report of a scam artist making telephone calls posing as a Franklin County court employee and seeking personal information.

This warning, which follows others from earlier in the year, advises anyone who gets such a call not to provide any personal information.

“The Maine courts do not call and request personal information over the telephone,” according to Mary Ann Lynch, government and media counsel for the Maine courts.
