DMV warns of texting scams

The N. C. Division of Motor Vehicles is alerting the public about a surge in fraudulent text message scams purporting to be sent by the NCDMV. These scams falsely claim to request payment for fees, fines, or tolls and may appear to come from the NCDMV. NCDMV does not and will never request payments via text message. Citizens are urged to report any suspicious texts as spam and delete them immediately. Do not click on any links or provide personal information in response to these messages. Protect yourself from scams: Be cautious of unsolicited texts requesting payment or personal information. Verify any NCDMV-related inquiries through official channels. Report suspicious texts to your mobile carrier or the Federal Trade Commission at Learn more about how to identify phishing texts and scams at

Ashley Walters, star of the Netflix series Adolescence, says the show has changed his parenting style with his children, making him see he was 'too liberal' about screen time.

The four-part series, co-created by Stephen Graham, explores the influence of the internet on young boys and has sparked widespread conversation. Walters said that the show has allowed parents to openly discuss concerns about their children's online activities. Graham emphasised the importance of being mindful of the various influences affecting young people, highlighting that children now have the world at their fingertips even within their homes.
