🚨 SCAM ALERT: Phishing Messages Impersonating the DMV 🚨
The Warrington Township Police Department is warning residents about a phishing scam that has been circulating this past weekend. Scammers are sending fraudulent emails and text messages, pretending to be from the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
These fake messages may:
🔺 Claim there's a problem with your driver’s license or registration
🔺 Urge you to click a link to "verify" or "update" your information
🔺 Use threats like license suspension or legal action to pressure you
⚠️ IMPORTANT: The DMV does NOT send unsolicited messages asking for personal info or payment.
DO NOT click any links or share personal information. If you're unsure, always contact the DMV directly using the official website.
• Messages about unexpected issues with your license, registration, or tickets
• Requests for sensitive info or payment via links
• Spelling errors, strange URLs, or threatening language
• Report the scam at https://reportfraud.ftc.gov
• Contact your bank or credit card company immediately
• Notify your local law enforcement
• Monitor your credit for suspicious activity
Please share this warning with friends and family—especially those who may be more vulnerable to online scams. Stay vigilant and stay safe!
