SCAM ALERT: FAKE DMV TEXT MESSAGES
We've been made aware of a fraudulent text message scam circulating in our area. The message claims to be from the New Jersey Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and uses urgent language such as:
"FINAL NOTICE OF ENFORCEMENT — Our records show you have an outstanding traffic ticket. Failure to pay will result in license suspension, prosecution, and damage to your credit score."
THIS IS A SCAM. Do not click any links or respond to the message.
Important Facts:
• The DMV will NEVER contact you by text regarding payments or enforcement actions.
• Law enforcement will NEVER contact you by text demanding payment or threatening arrest.
• These messages are designed to scare you into giving up personal or financial information.
If you receive one of these texts:
• Do not click any links
• Do not send any payment or provide personal information
• You can also report scams to the FTC at www.reportfraud.ftc.gov
If you're ever unsure whether something is legitimate, call your local police department. We’re here to assist you.
Please share this information with friends and family—especially seniors—so they don’t fall victim to these scams.
Stay alert. Stay safe.
