The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) has issued a warning regarding a scam involving fraudulent traffic ticket messages. The department clarified that it does not send text messages or make phone calls to collect fees or payments for traffic tickets.
Individuals receiving such messages are advised against providing any payment information. The department recommends not clicking on any links in suspicious text messages and advises against answering unsolicited phone calls related to traffic tickets or fees. Instead, recipients should block the sender or hang up and block the caller.
The NMDOT urges everyone to stay vigilant and protect their personal information from potential scams.
