You are driving home, your phone buzzes, and there it is: a text from what looks like your state’s DMV saying you have an unpaid traffic violation. Pay now or face a suspended license, a 35% penalty fee, possible prosecution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your stomach drops. You click the link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That moment of panic is exactly what scammers are counting on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
