The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles is warning customers of a new type of text message scam impersonating the BMV.
One of the scam texts says you have an unpaid traffic violation.
It provides a link to pay the violation and threatens you with suspension and additional penalties if you don’t do so.
The latest version of the scam uses links that closely mimic a State of Indiana web address and takes the user to a site that deceptively copies the BMV website.
This site will even create fraudulent BMV receipts and confirmation numbers to fool customers.
Delete the message immediately if you receive one and don’t click on any links.
The BMV says it does not send SMS text messages about outstanding penalties.
