NCDMV Warns of Fraudulent Text Scams
Urges caution of unsolicited or suspicious texts

ROCKY MOUNT – The N. C. Division of Motor Vehicles (NCDMV) is alerting the public about a surge in fraudulent text message scams targeting residents. These scams falsely claim to request payment for fees, fines, or tolls and may appear to come from the NCDMV.

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 www.ftc.gov/complaint.
