State officials are warning Pennsylvanians about a rise in text phishing scams falsely claiming to be from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT).

According to PennDOT, along with the Pennsylvania State Police and the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, scammers are sending messages that threaten license suspension or vehicle registration penalties for unpaid fines or tolls. These messages often include links designed to steal personal or financial information.

Officials emphasize that PennDOT does not send text messages regarding driver or vehicle issues and communicates only through official mail sent via the U.S. Postal Service.

Residents who receive suspicious messages are urged not to click any links and to delete the message immediately. Authorities also advise against sharing personal or financial information through text or email.

Anyone concerned they may have encountered a scam can contact PennDOT Driver and Vehicle Services at 717-412-5300 for assistance.

Officials say the best defense is to remain cautious, verify communications through official channels and avoid responding to unexpected messages.
