Maine BMV Issuing Warning About A Scam

The Maine Bureau of Motor Vehicles is issuing a warning to motorists about an ongoing scam.

People have reported getting text messages that threaten a variety of punishments for alleged violations.

Those messages include a link to a website where they can pay a fine to avoid loss of driving privileges or potential litigation.

The BMV uses mail to communicate important information like violations and anyone who gets a suspicious text message should delete it immediately.
