being targeted with fake text messages claiming to be from the New Jersey Motor
Vehicle Commission, saying they have to update their driver’s license.
It’s fake, according to MVC officials.
The messages claim to be from the Department of Transportation or State
Motor Vehicle Commission, but it isn't.
The messages contain language such as, "Please update your Driver
License to date, this was instructed by the Motor Vehicle Commission of the New
Jersey, please click here to get started now."
When clicked, malicious links direct users to a spoofed website
impersonating New Jersey's MyMVC site.
It's a phishing scam. Don't click on the link provided.
