Police Warn of Fake Driver Service Bureau Text Scam

Mississippi law enforcement officials have issued a warning about a scam involving threatening text messages. The messages claim that the Driver Service Bureau will suspend licenses or cancel vehicle registrations unless recipients make immediate payments.

Officials say the messages are fraudulent. The Driver Service Bureau will not send texts threatening suspension or asking recipients to click on links to pay fees, according to authorities.

Residents are advised not to click on any links, reply to the messages, or delete them. Authorities emphasize that these messages are scams designed to steal personal information or money.

The scam highlights ongoing efforts by criminals to target residents through digital communication. Officials urge the public to remain vigilant and report suspicious messages to authorities.
