Press Release: Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles Warns Residents of Text Message Scam
NEW ORLEANS — The Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles (OMV) has issued a warning to residents regarding a fraudulent text message scam. The scam message claims to be an “official notice” about an unpaid toll associated with the recipient’s vehicle, threatening suspension of their driver’s license.
The OMV clarifies that it does not handle toll violation fees and never sends text messages or emails demanding payment under threat of license suspension. Residents are urged not to click on any links provided in these messages or disclose personal information.
For those who are unsure about any reinstatement fees or the status of their driver’s license, the OMV advises visiting www.expresslane.org/DLstatus for confirmation.
This alert serves as a reminder for residents to remain vigilant against scams and to report suspicious communications to the authorities. Stay informed and protect your personal information.
