EXPANDING SCAM ALERT: FRAUDULENT MESSAGES NOW VIA TEXT, EMAIL, AND PHONE CALLS

The RI DMV is warning the public about an escalating scam involving fraudulent texts, that has now expanded to include emails and phone calls in other states, claiming to be the DMV.
Text messages, emails, or phone calls may falsely state that:
• Your REAL ID has been canceled or is fraudulent
• You have unpaid tolls or traffic fines
• Your license will be suspended unless immediate action is taken
Do NOT click any links, engage, or share personal/financial information. These messages are NOT from the RI DMV. We do not send threats or demands via text and/or unsolicited calls. For official press release click here.
