Mississippi Driver Service Bureau warns of scam texts

The Mississippi Driver Service Bureau has issued a warning about scam text messages targeting residents. The messages falsely claim that the bureau will suspend licenses or cancel vehicle registrations and demand immediate payment.

The bureau stated that it does not send threatening texts or request payments through links. Authorities advise residents not to click on any links, reply to the messages, or delete them.

Officials urge anyone who receives such messages to ignore and delete them and to report the scams to local authorities. The warning aims to protect residents from falling victim to fraud schemes.

Scam alerts like these are common, and officials emphasize verifying any suspicious communication directly with official sources.
