Clark County Faces Surge in DMV Fraud Texts, Urges Public Vigilance
Clark County, Nevada, is experiencing a wave of phishing scams where fraudsters impersonate District Court officials and the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles. These scammers send text messages claiming unresolved parking violations and tickets, often including hyperlinks for payment. Victims are threatened with consequences if they do not comply, and are asked to provide prepaid credit card information. The District Court has issued a warning advising recipients not to click on links or respond to these messages, emphasizing that they do not solicit personal information or payments via text, call, or email. This surge in phishing scams is part of a broader trend, with cybercrime losses reaching $20.9 billion in 2025, according to the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center.
