NHDOT warns about scammers contacting individuals by text message asking for personal information

CONCORD -- The New Hampshire Department of Transportation has received multiple reports of scammers contacting New Hampshire consumers by text message, impersonating NHDOT and asking for parties to click a link and enter their personal information for a “Driver’s License Waiver Validation.”

In one reported scam, New Hampshire consumers report receiving a text message claiming that the NHDOT is introducing the “ID. me Validator.” The text message encourages the recipient to click on a link to enter information from their license in order to receive a “face verification” for “Driver’s License Waiver Validation.”
