A common phishing scam involves fake text messages claiming to be from the Department of Motor Vehicles, law enforcement or other official agency.

The message requests immediate payment of an outstanding traffic ticket to avoid license suspension and other penalties. The text includes a link to a fake web address that may look similar to the official FLHSMV domain.

These messages are a scam – do not click on the link.
