NC Department of Transportation warns residents of DMV text scam
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — The latest DMV text scam has North Carolina officials warning residents to not fall for it. The NC Department of Transportation released a graphic detailing all the problems with the scam message. This DMV scam is the latest form of smishing that attempts to obtain revealing or sensitive information from individuals. It provides a fake link to pay the fines, creates a sense of urgency, and asks the recipient to reply 'Y' to the message, copy links into a browser, or confirm personal information. If you receive a text message from the DMV or any other state agency that demands money, the Federal Trade Commission recommends the following: Do not respond to the text or click any links. The DMV would not ask for your information or money by text. Report the text to the Federal Trade Commission at and/or file a complaint with the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center at Forward the message to 7726 (SPAM) to help your provider identify and block similar messages. Report the message on the app you are using. Look for the option to report junk or spam. You may also contact the DMV using a trusted telephone number or website. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
