The Wisconsin DMV is warning drivers about a new text message scam attempting to steal personal information by claiming their driver's license is about to be suspended.
The fraudulent messages often include a link and demand urgent payment for vague violations. Two TMJ4 employees recently received these texts.
This follows previous reports of scammers sending fake text messages pretending to be toll officials.
The DMV advises anyone who receives these messages to never click the provided links or share personal information.
