The Kansas Department of Commerce is warning of more text-related scams.
Fake texts that appear to come from KDOT and demand payment for tolls and tickets are continuing to be sent to the public. These texts sometimes threaten to have driver’s licenses revoked or impose penalties for not paying promptly. KDOT does not collect money for tickets or tolls, and the agency does not send unsolicited texts.
KDOT says not to click or open any links within these scam texts and never provide personal or financial details by clicking unknown links. Clicking on these links could expose information to scammers. Anyone who has received a scam message should delete the text and report it as junk.
