Vermont and New Hampshire DMVs Warn of Texting Scams
MONTPELIER, Vt. (WCAX) – Authorities in Vermont and New Hampshire are cautioning residents about a surge in texting scams linked to unpaid traffic tickets. The Departments of Motor Vehicles (DMVs) from both states report that individuals are receiving unsolicited text messages asserting that they have outstanding fines and threatening to suspend their driving privileges.
The DMVs emphasize that they do not communicate via text or email regarding payment demands; any official correspondence will be sent through traditional mail. Both departments urge the public to remain vigilant and not to engage with any messages purporting to be from the DMV. Recipients are advised against clicking on embedded links or sharing personal information.
These scams exploit fears surrounding traffic violations and license suspensions, making it crucial for individuals to approach such messages with skepticism. Residents are reminded to verify any claims using official DMV channels and to report suspicious texts to their respective departments.
As the prevalence of these scams grows, the Vermont and New Hampshire DMVs continue to stress the importance of public awareness. Consumers should stay informed and use caution, protecting themselves from potential fraud. For more information, individuals are encouraged to visit the official DMV websites or contact their offices directly.
