Scam alert from Wisconsin DOT

SCAM ALERT: A wave of phone scams are circulating once again. The recent scams involve calls and voicemails warning of “traffic citations requiring your prompt attention” and includes a fraudulent link in an attempt to get individuals to pay for the fake violation.

Remember, the Wisconsin DMV or the Wisconsin State Patrol will NEVER text, e-mail, or call saying you owe money. If you receive one of these messages:

DO NOT click any links or provide personal information.

Delete the message and report as “spam” on your phone.
