Attorney General Jeff Jackson is warning North Carolinians to be on the lookout for text scams impersonating the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles (NCDMV) and demanding that people pay an outstanding traffic ticket or face severe actions. The Department of Justice is receiving a higher volume of calls and complaints from consumers about this scam. “Unfortunately, scammers took note of the toll text scams that were everywhere a couple months ago and are now using the same playbook for these traffic text scams. Please keep an eye out and warn your loved ones that these texts are scams. Government agencies will never text you to threaten legal action.” – AG Jackson
