WYDOT warns against phishing texts

by

The Wyoming Department of Transportation is warning Wyoming residents to be on the lookout for a potential phishing scam involving driver’s licenses.
Scammers are sending text messages that claim they are from the “Department of Homeland Security” and demand driver license validation using a suspicious link. The text even warns that “failure to validate will lead to the suspension of your license.”
This is a scam aimed at stealing personal information. WYDOT says they will not ever send text messages of this nature and does not seek your personal information in this manner.
If you receive a text message like this one, avoid opening the link and giving personal information.
If you have questions or concerns about your driver license, reach out to your local Driver Services office directly for accurate information. WYDOT’s only Driver Services website is http://www.dot.state.wy.us/driverservices
