Mississippi officials warn of scam messages claiming to be from DMV

Greenwood, Miss. — Authorities in Mississippi are warning residents about a recent scam involving text messages claiming to be from the Mississippi Department of Motor Vehicles.

Recipients report receiving alarming messages that prompt them to provide personal information or click on links. Officials say these messages are not legitimate, as Mississippi has no DMV office or department.

Public safety officials urge residents to ignore these messages and not share any personal details. They advise verifying any communications through official state channels and reporting suspicious activity to authorities.

The scam has been reported across Mississippi and the Delta region, prompting renewed calls for public awareness and caution.
