DMV warns the public of scam texts

Vermont Business Magazine The Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is warning the public of a recent increase in scam messages that falsely claim the recipient has an unpaid traffic ticket and is at risk of driver’s license suspension. 

The DMV did not send these messages and does not send any text or email messages demanding immediate payment. 

“When the Vermont DMV needs to communicate with customers, we send notices via the mail and use other communications that are easily recognizable as valid and official because they contain accurate and detailed personally identifiable information,” said Commissioner Andrew Collier. 

If you receive an unexpected message about payments, do not click on links, do not provide personal information, and do not make payments.
