Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office warns residents to avoid clicking suspicious link
The Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO) is warning residents about a fraudulent text message circulating again across the region.
The scam message claims to be from the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles and falsely states that the recipient owes money for a traffic violation. It threatens license suspension, registration revocation, collections, or legal action if the person does not click a link.
BCSO confirms these messages are not legitimate and urges residents to use caution.
Scammers rely on urgent, intimidating language to pressure people into providing personal or financial information.
What to do if you receive this text
– Do not click the link
– Do not provide personal or banking information
– Delete the message and report it as spam
– Verify directly with NCDMV if you have concerns about your license, registration, or any citation
Important reminder
The North Carolina DMV does not send final payment demands or legal threats by text message with suspicious links. Any legitimate communication will come through official channels.
If you believe you may have shared information with scammers, the Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office encourages you to contact local law enforcement and monitor your financial accounts immediately.
Sharing this alert helps protect neighbors, friends, and family from falling victim to these schemes.
