Michigan police warn of fake DMV text scam

clickondetroit.com

Michigan State Police are warning residents about a text message scam falsely claiming to be from the state's DMV, threatening legal action over unpaid tickets. The fraudulent texts, which actually originate from scammers, falsely claim to be from the Michigan DMV, which doesn't exist. The texts threaten license suspension if a supposed ticket isn't paid quickly, prompting the warning. The Secretary of State confirmed they do not use text messages for fines and urged recipients to delete the texts and avoid clicking any links. This is the second scam reported recently.
