Drew got a text.
Drew fell for the scam.
Don't be like Drew.

Scam text messages are circulating nationwide claiming to be from the DMV and demanding payment before you face penalties. They are annoying and 100% fake.

Protect yourself from scams:
⏺️ Be cautious of unsolicited texts requesting payment or personal information.
⏺️ Verify any NCDMV-related inquiries through official channels.
⏺️ Report suspicious texts to your mobile carrier or the Federal Trade Commission at ftc.gov/complaint.

👉 Learn more about how to identify phishing texts and scams at ncdoj.gov/internet-safety/phishing/​.

In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life!”
