Highway robbery: Scammers bring back classic scam

(WHTM) — Ever get a text message saying you owe money for a toll? The messages know how to get your attention. They claim you have an outstanding traffic ticket and that if you don't pay immediately, you'll lose your registration and driving privileges. That got drive Scott Ruby's attention. 'I know that they can be awfully confusing to people, especially my age, who take this stuff for truth,' Ruby said. As summer returns, so does this infamous scam. States are warning drivers they will never text demanding money. The bottom line: Don't respond to unsolicited texts. Easy enough for Ruby — 'I owe so much that I ignore them anyway.' If you're ever unsure, call the state's agency directly at its official number to verify. Find more stories on Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Nevada DMV, NDOT warn of ongoing phone scam targeting drivers

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – After receiving several calls from the public regarding an ongoing driving fee scam, the Nevada Departments of Transportation and Motor Vehicles are asking residents not to respond to the text. Several versions of the scam have been seen across the nation throughout the year. The most recent text scam falsely claims to be from the DMV and that the recipient has an outstanding traffic ticket. The text then asks that the recipients click through to a website to pay and references toll booth fees. NDOT and the DMV want to remind residents that Nevada does not have tolls on public roads, and any claims of toll road fees in the state of Nevada are illegitimate. Some other indicators within the scam messages include a reference to State Administrative Code 15C-16.003, which does not exist. NDOT does not issue traffic or parking citations. The Nevada DMV will also never contact youabout penalties via text message. They will only contact you via mail or email. If you receive a text, do not click on the link and delete the message. Using the phone's 'report junk' feature is an additional option., The Federal Trade Commission offers online resources to recognize and report text and otherscams Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
