Mississippi Department of Public Safety warns of ongoing scam texts

The Mississippi Department of Public Safety is warning residents about a recurring scam involving suspicious text messages. The messages typically claim to be from the department or the Driver Service Bureau and often include threatening language or requests for payment.

Officials emphasize that the department will never contact individuals via text to ask for money or threaten license suspension. They advise recipients of such messages to avoid clicking on any links and to delete the messages immediately.

Authorities encourage the public to remain vigilant and report any similar scams to local law enforcement. The department continues to monitor and combat such fraudulent activities to protect residents from potential fraud.
