CONCORD — The New Hampshire Department of Safety’s Division of Motor Vehicles is notifying residents of a text message scam in which recipients are asked to submit immediate payment to resolve a traffic violation.
The DMV has received multiple reports of text messages claiming to be “a final notice” that informs recipients that their “traffic violation remains unpaid.” The scam further threatens recipients of enforcement penalties, including potential legal prosecution, credit damage, and the suspension of their vehicle registration and driver’s license if immediate payment is not made. The provided URL for payment also includes “nhgov” which appears to be an official State of New Hampshire website.
