Ignore texts from Kentucky DMV scammers, experts advise
LEXINGTON, Ky. (FOX 56) — A shady text claiming to be from the Kentucky State Department of Motor Vehicles is making rounds all over the state. It can take just one text for the scammer to get the info they're looking for. Read more of the latest Kentucky news A particular text going around threatens to suspend vehicle registration, legal disputes, and damage your credit score on account of unpaid traffic tickets. Allen Blair is the spokesperson for the Kentucky Department of Transportation. He urges everyone not to panic and click links when they get these texts. 'Keep in mind, the transportation cabinet doesn't collect fees for traffic tickets or assess traffic tickets. If you get anything about traffic tickets or tolls from the DMV, that isn't us. It's a scam,' Blair said. The Kentucky Department of Transportation has been working to break these links, and it looks like they've had success with it. Still, your best bet is to toss these texts. 'We've heard from people who contact us and say either the link is broken or it's not working. We're hopeful that our efforts to report these links and get these websites shut down is working,' Blair said.

Because of this, Adkins said he's seen a lot of similar scams with the same goal of taking personal information or finances. 'Scams are very underreported in the United States. Last year, it's believed that Americans lost over $47 billion to identity fraud and scams,' Adkins said. These texts can range from scary to annoying, but not entertaining the scammers is the best way to deal with them. 'Knowledge gives you power over these types of scams. If nobody is biting on it, then they'll move on to some other type of scam,' Adkins said. 'Just ignore it, report it, and delete it from your phone and protect yourself,' Blair added.

'Dangerous drink-driver' who killed woman jailed
A "dangerous drink-driver" who killed a woman and seriously injured another has been jailed for nine years and three months. Hertfordshire Police said Razvan Balasoiu, 26, was under the influence of alcohol when his BMW ploughed into a Toyota Corolla on the A602 between Stevenage and Hitchin. The Toyota's driver, a woman in her 50s, died at the scene, while a woman in a third car was seriously injured. Balasoiu, from London, previously pleaded guilty at St Albans Crown Court to causing death by dangerous driving and causing serious injury by dangerous driving. The incident happened "in wet conditions" on 12 November 2023 at about 18:45 GMT. Police said Balasoiu failed to notice the road changing from a dual carriageway into a single-lane road and struck a silver Toyota Corolla travelling in the same direction. The force with which his vehicle, a black BMW 316i, struck the Corolla, caused it to spin out of control onto the opposite carriageway, where it hit a Hyundai IX35. The Hyundai's driver, a woman in her 60s, spent several months in hospital and police said she was "still recovering from the horrific life-changing injuries". Balasoiu was arrested at the scene and failed to provide a breath test at the roadside, only agreeing to a blood test hours after the collision, police said. Det Con Felicity Walker said it was "a tragic case". "As a direct result of Balasoiu's driving, which was at speed, in wet conditions, under the influence of alcohol, three families have been affected. "Drink drive and speeding are two of the fatal four, and we will never tolerate such reckless behaviour on our roads." Balasoiu was sentenced on Thursday. He will also be banned from driving for five years once he is released from prison. Follow Beds, Herts and Bucks news on BBC Sounds, Facebook, Instagram and X.
