Oregon DMV warns of latest text, email scam demanding payment
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – The Oregon Department of Motor Vehicle Services is warning about the latest text and email scam targeting Oregonians. On Monday, the DMV issued a press release describing the scam, in which bad actors claim the message recipient has an outstanding ticket or other violation and cites 'phony,' administrative codes. The messages then demand payment and claim the recipient could face vehicle registration suspension, suspended driving privileges, service fees and damaged credit scores if they don't pay. However, the Oregon DMV is warning Oregonians to not click links in those messages and to block the sender and delete the messages. DON'T MISS: Beware of scam texts claiming you have a past due toll balance, ODOT says 'These messages are not from Oregon DMV,' said Oregon DMV Public Information Officer Chris Crabb. 'These are fake messages designed to get you to click on a link and provide personal information or send money.' 'Oregon DMV will never ask you for personal information or payment through an unsolicited text, email or phone call,' Crabb explained. 'DMV transactions should only be completed online at or in person at a DMV office.' The DMV clarified that the department does send texts or emails in some instances, but only for transactions initiated by a customer, noting these messages never include links to confirm personal information or to receive payment. Arrest warrant issued for Hwy 26 hit-run suspect who removed ankle monitor The DMV offered several tips for Oregonians to protect themselves – including never clicking links from messages about unpaid tolls, and to be cautious of suspicious texts demanding immediate action or that ask for personal information and payment.
