New Jersey warns of a scam using fake MVC texts threatening license suspension to steal personal info.

New Jersey police warn of a scam involving fake text messages from what is now the Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC), formerly known as the DMV. These messages threaten license suspension for unpaid traffic tickets and are designed to steal personal and financial information. The MVC does not request payments via text. Residents are advised to ignore and report these messages as spam by forwarding them to 7726 (SPAM).
