These fraudulent messages aim to steal personal and financial information from unsuspecting individuals by threatening actions related to alleged traffic violations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t let fraudsters steal your identity or hard-earned money,\u201d said Attorney General Rokita. \u201cScammers are using sophisticated tactics to trick Hoosiers. If you receive a suspicious text claiming to be from the BMV, do not click on any links and report it to our office immediately then call your phone provider for blocking solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In previous scam messages &#8211; like June 5, 2025, scammers sent out different fraud texts from \u201cDMV\u201d instead of \u201cBMV\u201d. Scammers are using a new tactic in these deceptive messages and sending through Apple\u2019s iMessage app rather than SMS messages. Our office has received multiple complaints and our Anti-Robocall Task Force is diligently working with three major Mobile Network Operators (MNO) to reach a solution in policing these new illegal behaviors.<\/p>\n<p>The scam messages claim that, by June 26, 2025, individuals with outstanding tickets will face the following actions if payment is not completed:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>They will be reported to the BMV for ticket violation.<\/li>\n<li>Their vehicle registration will be suspended.<\/li>\n<li>Their driving privileges will be suspended for 30 days.<\/li>\n<li>They will be transferred to a toll booth and charged a 35% service fee.<\/li>\n<li>They may face prosecution and will suffer potential impacts to credit scores.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Attorney General Rokita is calling on Hoosiers to remain vigilant and take the following precautions: \u202f <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Do Not\u202fclick on any links in unsolicited email or text messages claiming to be from the BMV.<\/li>\n<li>Do Not\u202fprovide personal information, such as your driver\u2019s license number or Social Security number.<\/li>\n<li>Do Not\u202fshare any card or account information through text messages or unverified links.<\/li>\n<li>Report\u202fthe unwanted text messages as junk on the app you use and block the phone number or email address.<\/li>\n<li>Contact your phone provider\u202ffor call\/text blocking solutions. Many manufacturers have built-in features to block unwanted calls or offer apps to block and label potential spam calls.\u202fClick here\u202ffor a list of resources available.<\/li>\n<li>Forward\u202fspam emails to the FTC at\u202fspam@uce.gov\u202fand report at\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/reportfraud.ftc.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\">reportFraud.ftc.gov<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you have already provided personal information or money through a link in these email or text messages, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.in.gov\/attorneygeneral\/consumer-protection-division\/\" target=\"_blank\">file a consumer complaint immediately online<\/a>\u202for call 317-232-6330.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on avoiding scams, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.in.gov\/attorneygeneral\/\" target=\"_blank\">Indiana Attorney General\u2019s website<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/assorted-photos\/112277.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"The Indianapolis Star building.
