KYTC reminding residents to look out for text scam
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is warning residents that a scam involving phony texts posing as the cabinet has not gone away.
The KYTC says the scam messages warn customers of unpaid traffic tickets and say that a “DMV violation” will be reported and “driving privileges” will be suspended if payment is not sent immediately. The text includes a link that is formatted to look similar to Kentucky government website addresses.
The KYTC is still working on having fraudulent websites related to the scam taken down. In the meantime, the cabinet is reminding residents that they do not collect traffic ticket fines or notify customers of violations via text. If you see text messages using phrases such as “KDOT” or “DMV” they are not from the KYTC, and be wary of links made to look like the KYTC’s website drive.ky.gov.
If you receive a suspicious text message, never click the link. If you did or provided personal or financial information, contact your bank immediately. You can report the text to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center at ic3.gov, or you can report it to the Kentucky Attorney General’s Office at ag.ky.gov.
