Delaware’s motor vehicle agency is warning residents across the state to stay alert for fraudulent text messages attempting to steal personal information.
Officials with the Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles have issued a public advisory after discovering a new text messaging fraud scheme targeting local drivers. The deceptive messages claim recipients have unpaid traffic violations that require immediate attention.
The phishing attempt arrives via text message and tries to trick people into clicking malicious links by referencing supposed outstanding traffic tickets. State officials are emphasizing that residents should never click on these suspicious links.
This warning represents the latest effort by Delaware DMV officials to protect citizens from increasingly sophisticated digital fraud attempts that specifically target motor vehicle-related services.
