How to Protect Yourself:
Do Not Click: Never click links in unsolicited DMV text messages.
Ignore & Delete: Delete the text immediately, especially if it includes urgent, threatening language or comes from an unfamiliar number.
Verify Independently: If you fear you have a real violation, contact the DMV directly through their official website or official phone numbers rather than using links in a text.
Report: Forward the fraudulent text message to 7726 ("SPAM").
Check the URL: Fake links often look like "alaska.gov-wep.digital/pay" or similar, not the official ".gov" domain.
